A warm front approached the region from the south during the late evening hours on Monday, December 28th. Initially, precipitation began as a quick burst of snow, but with warmer air moving into the region aloft, the precipitation quickly changed to a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain for much of the overnight hours.  After sunrise, the precipitation became light in intensity and fell mainly as freezing rain during the day on Tuesday, December 29th.  Areas south and west of the Capital Region changed to plain rain around Noon before precipitation ended by the afternoon hours.
Most areas saw 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet, with a few northern areas in Herkimer, Hamilton, Saratoga and Warren Counties receiving close to 4 inches.  A light glaze of ice fell on top of the snow and sleet in most places, with up to two tenths in some areas.
As a result of the wintry precipitation, many car accidents were reported throughout the region.  One of the accidents resulted in a fatality on Interstate 90 during the early morning hours on Tuesday, December 29th.  About a dozen flights were cancelled at Albany International Airport as a result of the wintry precipitation and about 300 customers briefly lost power throughout the area.
