A complex low pressure system, with one center in the Ohio Valley and another over Virginia late in the evening on the 13th, moved northeast and brought another round of mixed wintery precipitation to central New York. Again, during the early morning hours of the 14th, several hours of heavy snow affected northern Oneida county before a change over to sleet, freezing rain, and rain. Snow and sleet accumulations ranged generally from 6 to 8 inches in the northern-most towns of the county. Forestport picked up 8 inches of snow with this event.
