A low pressure system tracked northeast from the lower Ohio Valley on Tuesday March 4th, into south central New York State by Wednesday morning on March 5th. Abundant moisture was associated with this system, which led to widespread heavy rainfall across much of east central New York and western New England, which began late Tuesday night, and persisted into early Wednesday afternoon.

The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A low pressure system tracked northeast from the lower Ohio Valley on Tuesday March 4th, into south central New York State by Wednesday morning on March 5th.
Abundant moisture was associated with this system, which led to widespread heavy rainfall across much of east central New York and western New England, which began late Tuesday night, and persisted into early Wednesday afternoon.
Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches fell during this event. This heavy rainfall, in combination with frozen ground and snowmelt led to flooding in some areas of Litchfield county, particularly in and near Roxbury, where several roads were reportedly washed out or closed due to flooding.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 5, 4:41 AM EST, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
441 AM EST WED MAR 5 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TODAY. RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...ALONG WITH A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MIDDAY. ACROSS
THE ADIRONDACKS AND SOUTHERN VERMONT...FREEZING RAIN WILL LINGER
THIS MORNING. PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF THIS AFTERNOON. A WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BUILD EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY...BEFORE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM THREATENS THE REGION
FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 0930Z/WED...WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HVY RAIN CONTINUES TO
AFFECT MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH SOME TEMPS HOVERING NEAR
FREEZING ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHERN
VT...POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN ALSO PERSIST. AS SUCH...WILL HOLD ONTO
CURRENT WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THESE AREAS...UNTIL TEMPS RISE A
FEW MORE DEGREES. THERE ARE MANY AREAS THAT HAVE RISEN TO OR ABOVE
FREEZING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS BENNINGTON CO IN VT...ALONG WITH MUCH
OF WASHINGTON CO...AND PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL HERKIMER
CO...WHILE FOR SEVERAL OTHER AREAS...PARTICULARLY AT ELEVATIONS
ABOVE 1000 FT...TEMPS REMAIN AT OR EVEN A SHADE BELOW
FREEZING...HENCE THE LINGERING THREAT FOR FREEZING RAIN. THIS THREAT
SHOULD DIMINISH BY MID MORNING.
OTHERWISE...MAIN STORY CONTINUES TO BE HEAVY RAIN...WHICH COMBINED
WITH SIGNIFICANT SNOWMELT AND FROZEN GROUND...LEADS TO FLOODING
THREAT ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...AND THEREFORE FLOOD WATCH WILL
ALSO CONTINUE. SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS
SOUTHERN REGIONS THIS MORNING...AND POSSIBLY INTO THE CAPITAL REGION
AND SOUTHERN VT LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE MID DAY HOURS...AS MID
LEVEL COLD POOL MOVES ACROSS. SHOULD TSTMS OCCUR...GUSTY WINDS...AND
EVEN SOME SMALL HAIL ARE POSSIBLE.
STRONG E/SE WINDS ARE AFFLICTING HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHERN VT
INTO THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN TACONICS...WITH SOME GUSTS ALREADY
APPROACHING 40 KT. WITH STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN THIS
REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...HAVE RAISED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
THIS REGION...WITH MAIN EMPHASIS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
FOR THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT INTO THE WSW TO W...AND
BECOME QUITE GUSTY...POSSIBLY REACHING 30-40 MPH AT TIMES. SNOW
SHOWERS WILL PERSIST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ADIRONDACKS...ESP ACROSS
NORTHERN HERKIMER CO/NW HAMILTON CO...WHERE A FEW INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE...AIDED BY STRONG OROGRAPHIC LIFT WITH STRONG WEST WINDS.
AS FOR TODAY/S TEMPS...EXPECT THEM TO SPIKE UPWARD BETWEEN
15Z-17Z...ESP AS WINDS SHIFT INTO THE SW/W...AND LOCAL DOWNSLOPING
EFFECTS ENHANCE WARMING. HAVE INDICATED MAXES OF 45-50 FROM THE
CAPITAL REGION SOUTH FOR THIS REASON...WITH MUCH COLDER
MAXES...MAINLY BETWEEN 35-40 FURTHER N. TEMPS WILL THEN FALL BACK
THROUGH THE 30S THIS AFTERNOON...AND EVEN SOME 20S ACROSS THE
ADIRONDACKS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY
THROUGH MIDNIGHT...OTHERWISE GENERALLY PARTLY CLOUDY. HAVE GENERALLY
SIDED WITH WARMER FWC MOS NUMBERS...WITH THE THINKING THAT SOME
CLOUDS AND WIND WILL LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
HOWEVER...SHOULD CLOUDS/WIND DIMINISH...COLDER MINS ARE POSSIBLE.
THU...AS WEAK RIDGE MOVES E...WILL INDICATE FAIR
CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH SOME CLOUDS MAY PERSIST ACROSS CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN AREAS THROUGH THE MORNING. AS FOR MAXES...GENERALLY
INDICATED BLEND OF MAV/MET MOS.
THU NT...A FEW 21Z/04 SREF MEMBERS HINT AT LIGHT PRECIP DEVELOPING
ACROSS FAR WESTERN AREAS TOWARD FRI MORNING...IN RESPONSE TO WEAK
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING AHEAD OF AMPLIFYING TROUGH. THUS...HAVE
INDICATE SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POPS...HIGHEST TO THE W...WITH P-TYPE
AS SNOW.
FRI...ABUNDANT UNCERTAINTY LINGERS INTO EVOLUTION OF NEXT STORM
SYSTEM...BUT SEVERAL MODELS DEPICT AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR
PRECIP DURING FRI...MAINLY DUE TO SOME MID LEVEL ISENTROPIC LIFT AND
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING...WITH BEST CHC ACROSS WESTERN AREAS.
BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS MAY BE WARM ENOUGH...ESP ACROSS VALLEY AND SE
AREAS...FOR RAIN/SNOW MIX. THUS...HAVE KEPT CHC POPS FOR
RAIN/SNOW...WITH MORE RAIN IN VALLEY AND SE AREAS...AND MAINLY SNOW
ACROSS N AND W AREAS.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
PLENTY OF DISCUSSION CONCERNING THE UPCOMING STORM FRI-SAT WITH
GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUING WITH SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WITH SURFACE
TRACK AND THERMAL PROFILES. THE GFS POINTS TOWARD A SIGNIFICANT
SNOW EVENT WHILE THE ECMWF/CANADIAN/UKMET ARE JUST AS STRONG BUT
WARMER...AND THIS IS THE WAY THE FORECAST WILL LEAN TOWARD THIS
MORNING. PERTAINING TO THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS...FOLLOWING THE
PVU1.5 TRACE...STILL FAVORS A FURTHER WEST TRACK AS SUGGESTED BY THE
ECMWF. THE GFS APPEARS TO SUFFER FROM A HEALTHY CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK
IN THE NORTHERN GULF WHICH HAS IMPLICATIONS AT THE SURFACE...HENCE
THE FURTHER EAST TRACK. THE ECMWF APPEARS TO RESOLVE THE CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS BETTER AND REMAINS RATHER CONSISTENT WITH A MORE INLAND
TRACK. THEREFORE WILL INCLUDE A WINTRY MIXTURE THROUGH THIS STORM
PERIOD AND FAVOR THE WARMER SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE WITH
RESPECT TO TEMPERATURES. LASTLY...THIS WOULD FOLLOW THE TREND OF
THE PREVIOUS STORM TRACKS...WE SHALL SEE IF THIS INDEED HOLD TRUE.
INTEND TO HIGHLIGHT THIS WITHIN THE HWO THIS MORNING.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY GOOD CONSENSUS THAT ANOTHER CLIPPER
SYSTEM WILL APPROACH LATE NEXT TUESDAY WITH ANOTHER SHOT OF
ACCUMULATING WINTRY WEATHER.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THERMAL PROFILES ARE DEFINITIVE WITH A SHALLOW LAYER OF SUBFREEZING
AIR ACROSS THE CAPITAL REGION AND INTO KGFL. THIS WILL RESULT IN A
PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS THEN IMPRESSIVE WARM AIR
ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND REDUCE THE
THREAT FOR FZRA. EITHER WAY...IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. IN
ADDITION...LLWS IS QUITE EVIDENT PER VWP/S AND FORECAST PROFILES FOR
TAF SITES. ONCE THIS STORM LIFTS NORTH OF THE REGION...FAVORABLE
MIXING WILL RESULT IN SOME OF THOSE WINDS TRANSPORTED DOWN TO THE
SURFACE DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS WEDNESDAY.
WILL NEED TO MONITOR CONVECTION ACROSS KPOU WHERE FAVORABLE DRY SLOT
AND APPROACH OF THE COLD FRONT COULD BRING ABOUT LOW TOP CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY. WILL PLACE VCTS AT THIS TIME AND MONITOR UPSTREAM TRENDS.
WED NIGHT/THU...VFR...NO SIG WX.
FRI...MVFR/IFR...CHC RAIN/SNOW/FZRA.
SAT...MVFR...CHC SHSN.
SUN...VFR...NO SIG WX.
