Moderate to heavy snow developed to the northwest of a slow-moving coastal low on February 1st. The snow was light initially during the morning hours of the 1st, but an area of heavy snow expanded northwestward during the afternoon and evening, with snowfall rates of one to three inches per hour observed over areas mainly south of Albany. The heavier snow pushed through the Capital District and toward points north and west overnight into the 2nd while dissipating over areas south of the Capital District.  Storm totals ranged from one to two feet over the Mid-Hudson Valley, eastern Catskills, Helderbergs, and Schoharie Valley. Amounts were generally 6 to 12 inches over the Capital District, Mohawk Valley, and southern Adirondacks, with lesser amounts of 2 to 6 inches over the Lake George-Saratoga region. The heavy snowfall prompted a tractor trailer ban along I-84, and truck and speed restrictions along the New York State Thruway south of Albany. Metro North train service was also suspended. Numerous schools were closed, and states of emergency were issued by some counties and municipalities. Key impacts: transportation delays, government closures, school closures.
