An area of low pressure impacted the region between the afternoon on Saturday, January 3rd and the morning of Sunday, January 4th.  Precipitation associated with the storm's warm front initially began as snow across the entire region.  However, as warmer air aloft moved into the area, the precipitation changed to sleet and freezing rain by the evening hours.  The steadiest and heaviest precipitation occurred over the southern Adirondacks.
As low pressure passed to the west over the Great Lakes, light precipitation continued through the overnight hours, mainly in the form of a plain light rain for many areas, including the Capital Region, with a wintry mix for the Adirondacks and Lake George Region.  Precipitation tapered off to drizzle during the morning hours, with temperatures rising above freezing across the entire region.
Mainly light accumulation of snow occurred, with about 1 to 4 inches in most locations.  Light ice accretion from freezing rain of about a tenth to a quarter of an inch also occurred, although parts of the Adirondacks saw up to a half inch of ice accretion due to the prolonged period of freezing rain. The combination of snow and ice led to difficult travel across much of the region.
