| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Extremely cold arctic air moved into Eastern New York on January 13 and January 14. At the same time an area of low pressure formed in Kentucky. This low tracked east into northern Virginia then turned north and moved through the Hudson Valley late on January 14 through January 15. The storm dumped heavy snow on the region followed by an extended period of sleet and freezing rain. The onset of the snow was accompanied by dangerously cold conditions with temperatures as low as 9 below zero. Snowfall amounts included 11 inches at both the Albany International Airport and Little Falls in Herkimer County. 15 inches of snow fell at Gloversville in Fulton County. In addition to the usual traffic disruptions, the weight of the snow and ice caused a roof to cave in at a bowling alley in Rotterdam in Schenectady county. A roof also collapsed at a farm in Mayfield Fulton county which killed a cow and injured several others. The Adirondack Northway was closed between Exits 17 and 23 from 10AM through 7PM on Friday the 15th due to very icy conditions. There were also numerous flight delays or cancellations at the Albany National Airport. |
