| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A low pressure system slowly intensified over the Carolinas from the evening of the 20th through much of the day on the 21st. A notable spoke of upper level energy rotated around this storm and affected central New York during the early morning hours on the 21st. A burst of heavy snow resulted, which was mixed with sleet and freezing rain near the New York/Pennsylvania border. This round of snow was primarily concentrated from the central southern tier of New York northward into the Finger Lakes region, where 4 to 8 inches fell within roughly a 6 hour period. From the evening of the 21st through the 22nd, the storm center began to move northeastward off the Mid-Altantic coast while strengthening further. As this occurred, narrow bands of very heavy snowfall developed overnight into the early morning of the 22nd. Snowfall totals for this entire event were heaviest across the Finger Lakes and central southern tier regions. Accumulations of 6 to 10 inches were common, with isolated reports of 12 to 15 inches. Alpine in Chemung county picked up 15 inches, Penn Yan in Yates county received 9 inches, while Auburn and Sterling in Cayuga county got 10 to 11 inches. Another narrow region of heavier snow occurred from eastern Broome and Otsego counties into the Catskills early in the morning on the 22nd. Amounts of 7 to 11 inches were common here, including 9.5 inches in Afton of Broome county and 9 inches in Stamford of Delaware county. Elsewhere in central New York, event totals averaged 4 to 7 inches by the time snow tapered off during the mid to late morning of the 22nd. |
