Overview
Accumulating snowfall developed during the morning of February 7th as strong southerly winds brought in moisture with origins from the Gulf of Mexico. These winds also allowed snow to change to sleet and freezing rain from south to north during the afternoon hours, which cut down on snowfall totals from the Capital District and Berkshires on south. Highest totals were observed over the Schoharie and Mohawk Valleys, southern Adirondacks, Lake George Saratoga region, and the southern Green Mountains, where generally 8 to 12 inches occurred. Totals were in the 5 to 9 inch range across the Capital District, while 2 to 5 inches along with some light icing occurred in the mid Hudson Valley and eastern Catskills. The snowfall ended from west to east during the evening hours.Snow/Ice
