| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | During the afternoon of December 10, moderate to heavy snow spread across eastern New York from the southern Catskills and mid Hudson Valley northward to just south of the Capital District The snow moved in quickly from the south and fell at a heavy rate shortly after onset. The timing and rate of snowfall caused many traffic problems during the evening commute. At Marlboro in southern Ulster County, two tractor-trailers got stuck across U. S. Route 9W. This caused traffic to back up for more than four miles and forced the road to close for approximately four hours. In Dutchess County, a tractor-trailer got stuck going up a hill and blocked U. S. Route 9 north of Hyde Park for four hours during the evening. The snowfall exhibited a very tight south north cutoff. For example, in Albany County the Albany County Airport received one inch of snow while Alcove in the extreme southern portion of the county received 8 inches. Some other specific snowfall totals included: 7 inches at Berne in Albany County, 8 inches at Ghent in Columbia County, 7 inches at Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County, 8 inches at Cairo in Greene County and 9 inches at Kerhonkson in Ulster County. |
