A storm system moved from the eastern Great Lakes towards the Northeast coast on Thursday, October 27th.  With plenty of unseasonably cold air in place, steady precipitation in the form of the snow moved across the region ahead of an advancing warm front during the morning and afternoon hours.
Precipitation was fairly light and snow only accumulated up to four inches, with the highest amounts across the hills and mountains.  Despite these minor amounts, travel was largely disrupted across the region as a result of the snowfall.  Numerous traffic accident occurred as a result of the snowfall, especially in the Capital Region and Albany County Hilltowns.
In addition, up to 20,000 customers lost power, mainly across the eastern Adirondacks. The wet snowfall weighed down and broke tree branches, some of which still had leaves on them, causing power lines to fall as well.
Precipitation tapered off to rain and snow showers during the late evening hours, as the storm system exited off to the east.
