On Monday, January 23rd, an area of low pressure formed along the mid-Atlantic coast and began to slowly lift northward. Light precipitation in the form of snow began late in the afternoon across southern areas and across northern areas by the early evening hours. As some warmer air moved into the region aloft, the precipitation mixed with sleet, especially for southern areas.
During the overnight hours, the precipitation fell moderate at times and primarily fell in the form of sleet. The combination of wet snow and sleet made for slow travel and many vehicle accidents. Many schools were cancelled on Tuesday, January 24th. Also, the heavy wet snow downed some trees and power lines, causing isolated power outages as well.
As warmer air continued to move in aloft, the precipitation fell as freezing rain in most areas into the day on Tuesday, January 24th. The precipitation continued through the entire day on Tuesday, January 24th, but was generally lighter in intensity. The precipitation changed back to all snow briefly on Tuesday evening, before ending around midnight.
Valley areas generally picked up 2 to 4 inches of snow and sleet, with a light glaze of ice as well.  Higher terrain locations generally had 3 to 6 inches of snow and sleet, although a few localized areas in the eastern Catskills and Helderbergs had up to 8 inches.
