A storm system tracked across upstate New York on Sunday, December 2nd, while a secondary storm developed and gained strength along the New England coast. These two systems brought a mix of precipitation to upstate New York. Many areas of upstate New York changed over to rain, but in Oneida County, the precipitation remained freezing rain, with around one-half inch of ice reported.
