| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system developed near the Virginia Capes on the evening of the 21st, then intensified rapidly as it moved slowly northward up the Atlantic seaboard and eventually on to the Gulf of Maine by the morning of the 23rd. Rain or a mixed bag of rain and wet snow began across central New York during the afternoon of the 21st. However, precipitation quickly changed over to all snow by late afternoon as colder air wrapped into the area from the northwest. Heavy wet snow pelted much of central New York overnight from the 21st into the 22nd. Snow gradually wound down over New York's southern tier during the morning on the 22nd; yet it continued to snow well into the night further north towards Oneida county. The heavy wet nature of the snowfall created many hazards across the region by the early morning hours on the 22nd. Many trees and power lines weighed down heavily or collapsed altogether. Many area roadways were closed early on the 22nd as crews scrambled to clear both heavy snow and in some cases fallen and/or live wires. Power outages were most widespread from Chenango county northward through the western Mohawk Valley and into northern Oneida county. Once the snow finally ended over all areas by very early in the morning on the 23rd, accumulations generally ranged from 8 to 12 inches across most of the southern tier counties to as much as 20 to 25 inches in northern Oneida county. Some of the more impressive totals were as follows: Boonville in Oneida county - 25 inches, Point Rock in Oneida county - 20 inches, just northeast of Cortland in Cortland county - 17 inches, Conklin Forks (Broome county), Coventry (Chenango county), and Butternuts (Otsego county) - all 14 inches. |
