| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A storm system intensified as it moved northeastward from the Carolina coast on the evening of the 15th into the early morning hours of the 16th. This system dumped a mixed bag of wintery precipitation over much of central New York. Across the western Catskills, significant icing occurred as an elevated warm layer persisted for most of the event. Ice accumulations of up to a quarter of an inch on exposed surfaces were observed across the higher terrain. Scattered power outages resulted from the weight of the ice on power lines. Freezing rain and sleet changed back to snow for a brief time before ending around midday on the 16th. |
