Two low pressure systems approached the northeastern US on Sunday, February 12, with snowfall breaking out over the local area around sunrise. The snow was heavy during the morning and early afternoon, with accumulation rates of 1 to locally 2 inches per hour at times. The snow was wet and dense and readily clung to trees. During the afternoon, warmer air resulted in precipitation changing to sleet for portions of the mid-Hudson Valley and Catskills, which cut down snowfall totals in those locales. The snowfall diminished Sunday evening, except over the higher terrain areas of the Adirondacks as well as the Mohawk Valley. In those locations, accumulating snowfall persisted through the night and into Monday before diminishing Monday afternoon.
In total, 7 to 12 inches of snowfall occurred through most of the local area, with lesser totals over southern portions of the region where sleet occurred. Car accidents were reported and snow emergencies were in effect throughout the region, and Route 28 in Herkimer County was closed for a time due to several accidents.
On February 13, strong winds developed on the back side of the system. The strongest winds targeted the Catskills and Mid-Hudson Valley, where several trees were downed and over 14,000 power outages were reported. Dutchess County Airport in Poughkeepsie recorded a 59 mph wind gust.
