A widespread snowfall occurred across all of eastern New York on Wednesday, February 5th.  An area of low pressure moved across the Ohio Valley, bringing a period of moderate to heavy snowfall out well ahead of the storm during the early morning hours.  Snow fell at rates in excess of one to two inches per hour, allowing for a messy commute during the morning hours, especially for areas from the Capital Region on south.  As warmer air moved into the region aloft, the precipitation changed to sleet and freezing rain across the mid-Hudson Valley and southern Taconics region, with snowfall continuing at lighter rates further north.
The low pressure area began to reform off the mid-Atlantic coast during the day and moved northeast towards the New England Coast by the evening hours.  As this occurred, an additional heavy band of snowfall developed across mainly the northern and western parts of the region during the afternoon, with snowfall once again falling at rates of one inch per hour.
By the time the snow tapered off in the evening hours, the entire region received a widespread 6 to 12 inches, with a few spots nearing 15 inches.
