What happened

The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.

A complex storm system moving up the Ohio Valley on the 13th reformed off the mid Atlantic coast on the morning of the 14th. The storm then moved northeast up the coast the remainder of the 14th and on the 15th. Snow moved into most of central New York near the end of the 13th. In Sullivan County, the snow mixed with sleet and freezing rain early on the 14th before changing to mostly freezing rain around 4 AM. Snow and sleet amounts were up to 3 inches before one quarter to one half inch of freezing rain fell. The freezing rain moved east of the area by 10 AM. Across Onondaga and Oneida Counties, precipitation stayed as snow with 5 to 8 inches of accumulation. The snow was moderate to heavy in Onondaga and Oneida Counties between 2 and 6 AM, before ending by 10 AM. The greatest amounts of snow were in north central and northeast Oneida County in the southern part of the Tug Hill Plateau.
