With a northerly flow funneling cold air into the region from Canada, light precipitation occurred along a stationary boundary.  This resulted in a wintry mix, especially for northern and high terrain areas, with a light accretion of ice.  Some slippery travel occurred as a result of this precipitation.   Behind this frontal boundary, the combination of a strong upper level low and surface low tracking south of the region allowed for an additional period of light wintry precipitation and rainfall to the region.  In addition, strong easterly winds associated with the storm led to strong winds across downslope favored areas of the Taconics. These high winds resulted in numerous trees downed and power outages, with wind gusts up to 74 mph being recorded.
