What happened
The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
An area of low pressure developed over western North Carolina, along a frontal boundary, during the morning of November 2. This low rapidly deepened as it tracked nearly due north through the eastern portions of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes by evening. A steep pressure gradient ahead of the storm produced high wind across the higher terrain of eastern New York State during the evening hours. The winds brought down numerous trees and some power lines across Hamilton and northern Herkimer counties. There were spotty power outages and a tree crushed a car. No serious injuries were reported to the National Weather Service. A wind gust to 80 mph was reported in Platte Cove in western Greene County.
