A developing area of low pressure moved from the Gulf of Mexico on during the night of the 30th and moved north into the eastern Great Lakes as it intensified during the evening of October 31st. As the surface low moved across Ontario during the night of October 31st, its associated cold front slowly edged across New York.||The upper level pattern was very strong and dynamic with a direct moisture feed from the Gulf of Mexico, thus delivering copious amounts of moisture into the northeast and NY.||Steady rain developed during the late afternoon of October 31st and became heavy at times until just after midnight of November 1st. Rainfall amounts 1.5 to 2 inches were common but a swath of 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches moved across Essex county.||Numerous flooded streams, flooded and several washed out roads were reported in Essex county, beginning just before Midnight and continuing through the early morning hours of November 1st.||In addition strong, damaging winds gusted in excess of 60 mph in portions of St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton counties with gusts in excess of 50 mph elsewhere. These strong winds combined with over-saturated soils led to numerous downed trees and more than 10,000 power outages. Estimated public infrastructure damage in excess of $5 million.

A stationary boundary was draped across the Adirondacks of New York into portions of central and northern New England from December 20th through 22nd with several disturbances delivering precipitation. An impressive battle between mild to warm moist air, south of the boundary with temperatures in the 50s, overriding a very cold, dense shallow air mass with temperatures in the teens and 20s in New York but single digits just north across the border into Canada.||First round of wintry precipitation fell across northern New York, especially along the Canadian border during Friday afternoon (December 20th). Most of the precipitation fell as freezing rain, approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of ice accumulation, along with some sleet. The second round began during the late morning and early afternoon hours of December 21st and peaked during the evening and overnight hours. An additional 1/2 to 1 inch of ice accumulation as well as 1 to 2 inches of sleet occurred in portions of northern New York. ||The greatest impact was along the Canadian border, especially the St. Lawrence River Valley with widespread tree and utility line damage as well as numerous vehicle accidents. Tens of dozens of customers were without power from hours to days across the region. Similar areas as the Ice Storm of January 1998, but not the severity as precipitation and ice accumulation was half of the 1998 storm.||Ice jams also developed during this time period as runoff from melting snow and rainfall swelled area rivers. River rises were enough to break up and move ice cover, resulting in scattered ice jams.

On March 5th, an active storm system developed and moved across the Gulf coast states. This storm produced severe weather, including deadly tornadoes along the Gulf coast and major flooding across the Tennessee River Valley. In New York, a cold front was draped across western New York with rainfall immediately along the cold front and temperatures in the 40s across northern New York that promoted significant snow melt to the region. ||On March 6th, this storm began to move north across the southeast and Mid-Atlantic states along a slow moving cold front positioned across New York south to Florida. More heavy rainfall, flooding and severe weather accompanied this system. In northern New York, heavy rainfall and temperatures in the 40s preceded the cold front. However, as the cold front crept across northern New York during the morning hours, temperatures fell 12-15 degrees within an hour and heavy rain changed to heavy sleet and wet snow. ||At the same time, rapid snow melt and heavy rainfall accounted for area ice-covered rivers to swell and cause ice flows. A significant ice jam formed in the Keene Valley between Jay and Keene that resulted in moderate to major flooding of numerous homes and forced evacuations during a major snowstorm. ||Heavy snow continued from the afternoon of March 6th to midday on March 7th with the heaviest occurring in the early morning hours of the 7th with snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour. Total snowfall accumulations ranged from 5 to 10 inches in the St. Lawrence River Valley to 18 to 30 inches across much of the Adirondacks and Champlain Valley.||Most roads were impassable with numerous accidents and stuck vehicles. Nearly 5000 customers lost electrical power, nearly all school districts were closed on the 7th along with local/state government as State of Emergencies were declared in Clinton and Essex counties.
