The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.
An early season winter storm dumped wet snow across the Catskills, as deepening low pressure moved up the coast. Snow amounts were very elevation-dependent. Some valleys, especially the Delaware, had only a few inches of snow at lower elevations, yet the Catskills in some cases had more than a foot of snow at higher elevations.
