Heavy Snow in Southern Westchester, New York

A heavy wet snow fell across Southern Westchester. Amounts ranged from 7.2 inches at 1 ESE Hartsdale, 6.8 inches in Scarsdale, 5.8 inches at 1 ESE Hartsdale, and 5.1 inches in New Rochelle, all reported by trained spotters.

Low pressure across the Tennessee Valley and the Gulf states tracked tracked north, and redeveloped and intensified rapidly off the Mid Atlantic coast. A heavy wet snowfall occurred across much of Southeastern New York, with lesser amounts across portions of the coast, especially along and closer to the south shore and eastern third of Long Island. Marginal surface temperatures precluded higher snow amounts in urban locations and further south and east. A combination of over 250 crashes and accidents were reported across Long Island during the storm from state and county law enforcement officials.
