Heavy snow fell across the northern half of the county. Snowfall reports from trained spotters of 6.8 inches at 1 E Danbury, and 6.3 inches in New Fairfield were reported. Also a Cocorahs observer reported 6.2 inches at 2.4 NNE Ridgefield.

The wider storm

Weak high pressure and a marginally cold air mass was locked into the northeast with blocking to the north across Eastern Canada, while low pressure over the Midwest moved east and redeveloped off the Northern Mid Atlantic coast. This led to the first widespread accumulating snowfall across the CWA.
