A powerful Nor'Easter resulted in widespread moderate to heavy wet snow and gusty winds across eastern New York March 13-March 15, 2023. ||Anywhere from 15 to 30 inches of snow with locally higher amounts in excess of 30 inches fell over the SW Adirondacks and eastern Catskills. Valley locations received lesser amounts with totals generally ranging between 7 to 15 inches. A few locations across the western Mohawk Valley and mid-Hudson Valley received less than 6 inches of snow.||Numerous downed trees and powerlines resulted in widespread power outages. According to the National Grid, approximately 141,000 customers lost power within the state of New York with most occurring within our county warning area. Some locations were without power for at least 1 or 2 days. Several warming stations opened to assist those without power. Overall, this event led to the closing of many school districts, and resulted in chain up laws and bans of empty tractor trailers and/or tandems on some area interstates. A State of Emergency was issued for several jurisdictions as a result of the storm. ||Key Impacts: Power Outages, School Closures, Car Accidents, Travel Restrictions.

March 3, 2023

Snow moved over eastern New York Friday evening (March 3rd) from southwest to northeast. Snow was moderate to at times heavy over the area Friday evening into Friday night. At times, snow mixed with sleet/freezing rain especially over areas south of I-90 (i.e. mid-Hudson Valley). Snow persisted through Friday night before tapering to snow showers Saturday and eventually coming to an end Saturday afternoon/evening.||Snowfall totals ranged from 6 to 12 inches across most of the area except 3-6 inches across the western Mohawk Valley, mid-Hudson Valley and across Columbia, Rensselaer and southern Washington counties.||The weight of the snow resulted in some power outages especially across Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga and Warren counties.||Key Impacts: Power Outages, Travel Limitations.

February 3, 2023

A brief but powerful Arctic airmass moved across the region on February 3-4, 2023 which brought dangerously low wind chill values to much of the region along with strong wind gusts. An Arctic cold front passed across the region during the evening hours on February 2 accompanied by snow showers and snow squalls. Snow squalls were confined only to the Adirondacks. Thereafter, very cold air gradually advected into the region on February 3 into the morning hours on February 4.||Air temperatures gradually fell throughout the day on February 3 with readings down to the single digits above zero to 10 to 20 below zero by the late-afternoon hours. Many locations dropped to between 10 and 25 degrees below zero with a few pockets in the Adirondacks nearing 40 below zero by the early morning hours on February 4. Portions of the mid-Hudson Valley only fell to between 5 and 10 degrees below zero. On February 4, a record low temperature of -13F was tied at Albany while a record low temperature of -24F was set at Glens Falls. Poughkeepsie was short of their daily record low of -10F by only falling to -7F.||In addition to the cold, this Arctic air mass brought strong winds across the region during the daytime hours on February 3 into the overnight hours before easing on February 4. Peak gusts between 35 and 50 mph were common across most areas. A few localized areas had a peak wind gust greater than 50 mph. A few downed trees and power lines occurred which resulted in a few power outages. The area with the highest amount of power outages was in Ulster County.||The combination of very cold air and strong winds resulted in wind chill values much lower than the actual air temperature. The lowest wind chills ranged from 20 below zero across portions of the mid-Hudson Valley to near 50 below zero across portions of the Adirondacks. For many, the last time it was this cold was back in February 2016.||Warming centers opened areawide to offer assistance for those that needed shelter from the cold. Some area schools closed or were delayed as a result of the cold.||Key impacts: damage to trees and power lines, power outages, school delays and closings.

January 22, 2023

With eastern New York in the cold sector of a coastal low pressure system, a swath of moderate to heavy snow fell across a good portion of the area Sunday evening/night into Monday before ending Monday afternoon. The winter storm proved impactful resulting in car crashes and power outages.

December 15, 2022

A high-impact, long-duration winter storm affected the region from December 15-17, 2022. This was an elevation-dependent storm with heavy snowfall for the higher elevations and a mix of rain and snow in the valleys. Snowfall totals of 12-24 inches were common across areas above 1000 feet with mainly 6 inches or less below. A brief period of sleet and freezing rain occurred across portions of the Hudson Valley during the evening hours on December 15 before precipitation changed over to plain rain. Rain then changed over to snow during the daytime hours on December 16.||This was a heavy, wet snow and the weight of the snow caused downed trees and power lines resulting in scattered power outages. Hamilton County was hit hardest with power outages with over 30 percent of customers tracked without power at some point during the event. A few vehicle accidents also occurred as a result of the slippery road conditions. Delays and cancellations occurred at the Albany International Airport. A few snow emergencies and snow removal parking bans were in place across the region.||Key Impacts: Travel Delays, Tree Damage, Power Outages, Vehicle Accidents.
