A major snowstorm with near blizzard conditions at times impacted portions of northern New York on March 12th and lingered into the morning hours of March 13th.
The storm originated off the lee-side of the Colorado Rockies on March 10th/11th and moved into the Ohio River Valley by the early morning hours of March 12th, before it intensified as it moved across Pennsylvania and southern New England on the afternoon/night of the 12th and into the Gulf of Maine by the morning of March 13th.
Snow began across northern New York before dawn on March 12th and fell heavy at times during the afternoon through overnight hours into the morning of March 13th before ending. In addition to heavy snowfall accumulations, strong northeast-north winds with gusts to 35-40 mph at times caused considerable blowing and drifting of the snow. Total snowfall accumulations ranged from 8 to 12 inches in the St. Lawrence River Valley with 12 to 18 inches elsewhere. Numerous motor vehicle accidents, school and business closures resulted due to the storm on both March 12th and 13th.
