Weak low pressure developed along a frontal wave along the southeast coastline and moved northeast offshore as 700 mb frontogenesis contributed to sub advisory and advisory level snowfall across Southeastern New York. Impacts were minimal as the snow was wet in nature and had difficulty sticking on cement surfaces. Not all zones are entered as with a warm ground some zones had under 2.5 inches of accumulated snow.
