The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A strong area of low pressure lifted across the Great Lakes and towards southern Canada on Sunday, January 10th. A cold front trailing from this storm system brought a line of heavy rain showers and thunderstorms with small hail and gusty winds to the region during the afternoon hours on Sunday, January 10th. Behind this cold front, strong winds developed over the western and southern Adirondacks, western Mohawk Valley and the Lake George-Saratoga Region, as colder air rushed in behind the storm during the evening hours. The strongest winds were estimated up to 60 MPH over northern Herkimer County. A strong pressure gradient resulted in gusty winds continuing through the late evening hours and overnight hours.
As a result of the strong winds, there were a significant number of power outages, especially over the western Adirondacks, with over 2000 customers without power within the Old Forge area alone. In addition, winds downed tree limbs, which caused the temporary closures of several roads through the area. A car was damaged on Route 22 in Granville when the vehicle struck a tree in the road downed by wind. Numerous trees and large branches downed by the wind also damaged a car in the town of Queensbury. According to newspaper reports, trees were downed across the roadway on Route 8 in Horicon, Goodman Road in Johnsburg and Peggy Ann Road in Queensbury.
Although the strong winds diminished by sunrise on Monday, January 11th, it remained somewhat breezy through the day as the pressure gradient gradually relaxed over the region. Despite this, most of the power outages were restored by the morning hours on Monday, January 11th.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
648 PM EST SUN JAN 10 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT THE HEAVY
RAINS...THUNDER AND LIGHTNING...SMALL HAIL...STRONG WINDS AND VERY
MILD TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA WILL MOVE WAY FROM THE REGION
TONIGHT. A COLDER AND MORE SEASONABLE AIR MASS WILL BE USHERED
BACK INTO THE REGION. AS THE COLDER AIR MOVES OVER THE RELATIVELY
WARMER WATERS OF LAKE ONTARIO LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL DEVELOP
TONIGHT AND IMPACT THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS INTO MONDAY NIGHT. A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE REGION TUESDAY BRINGING A
WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOWFALL TO THE AREA.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 647 PM EST...STRONG LOW PRESSURE HAS MOVED NORTHEAST AND IS
MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN QUEBEC. AN OCCLUDED FRONT TRAILS FROM THIS
SYSTEM...AND THIS FRONT HAS NOW CROSSED MOST OF OUR AREA. THIS
FRONT HAS BROUGHT...HEAVY RAINS...THUNDER AND LIGHTNING...SMALL
HAIL...STRONG EAST-SOUTHEAST WINDS AND RECORD BREAKING WARM TO THE
AREA. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR REPORTS. THE MAJORITY OF THE RAIN
SHOWERS HAVE NOW ENDED...AS THE FRONT SHIFTS EASTWARD INTO NEW
ENGLAND. A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS REMAIN OVER FAR WESTERN AREAS
THANKS TO A SECONDARY BOUNDARY APPROACHING. THIS BOUNDARY IS ALONG
THE LEADING EDGE OF THE COLDER AIR AT THE SURFACE ALONG WITH THE
WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD BE THROUGH
SOON...ALLOWING FOR TEMPS TO START TO FALL AND WINDS TO SWITCH TO
THE WEST.
BEHIND THIS SECONDARY BOUNDARY...A COLDER AND MORE SEASONABLE
AIRMASS WILL BE USHERED BACK INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES WILL RAPIDLY DROP WITH READINGS OF -13C TO -16C
EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA BY SUNRISE MONDAY. THE AVERAGE SURFACE
TEMPERATURE OF LAKE ONTARIO IS 44F/6.7C DEGREES. THIS DIFFERENTIAL
IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT.
THE FOCUS FOR THE LAKE EFFECT WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN HERKIMER AND
HAMILTON COUNTIES NORTH OF ROUTE 28. THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING
REMAINS IN EFFECT BEGINNING AT 10 PM EVENING.
AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN THE WESTERLY WINDS WILL BECOME
BRISK AND GUSTY. THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE THE CASE ACROSS THE
WESTERN ADIRONDACKS AND IN THE WESTERN AND MOHAWK VALLEY WHERE
HAVE A WIND ADVISORY IS EFFECT. SOME HIGH TERRAIN AREAS THERE WILL
SEE WINDS GUSTING UP TO 50 MPH. OUTSIDE OF THE ADIRONDACKS AND
MOHAWK VALLEY...WINDS LOOK TO GUST 20-35 MPH AT
TIMES...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT CHANNEL WESTERLY FLOW.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
WINTER RETURNS WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.
THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL BE IN HIGH GEAR ON MONDAY WHEN THE
HEAVIEST SNOW IS EXPECTED. BASED ON THE FLOW THE AREA IN THE
VICINITY OF ROUTE 28 AND TO THE NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN HERKIMER
AND HAMILTON COUNTIES IS WHERE THE SNOWS SHOULD BE MOST PERSIST
RESULTING IN GREATEST SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS. TOTALS IN THIS AREA
OF 6 TO 12 INCHES ARE EXPECTED AND ARE THE BASIS FOR THE WARNING.
THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL SHIFT NORTHWARD AND GET DISRUPTED MONDAY
NIGHT AS THE FLOW BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY AS RIDGING BUILDS IN ACROSS
THE REGION AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING TROUGH/LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
SHORT WAVE ENERGY DIVING OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA WILL REINFORCE/DEEPEN
THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND RESULT IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. THIS SYSTEM WILL TRACK EASTWARD MOVING ACROSS THE REGION
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH A SEASONABLY COLD AIRMASS IN
PLACE SNOW IS EXPECTED WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCUMULATIONS. THE
HIGHER SNOWFALL/MODERATE TOTALS ARE EXPECTED TO THE NORTHWEST OF
THE CAPITAL DISTRICT AND ACROSS SOUTHERN VERMONT INTO THE
BERKSHIRES.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THIS WILL BE A PERIOD OF PERSISTENT LAKE EFFECT SNOW...WITH MORE
WIDESPREAD SNOW POSSIBLE FOR THE WEEKEND. A WESTERLY WIND FLOW WILL
SET UP BEHIND A DEEP DEPARTING LOW FOR WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. WITH THE LAKE ONTARIO SURFACE
TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL...THE FUEL WILL BE ABUNDANT FOR LAKE
EFFECT SNOWS IN THE USUAL AREAS...WITH THE ADDITION OF OROGRAPHIC
LIFT SPREADING THE JOY DOWN THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN CATSKILLS AND
NEW ENGLAND MOUNTAINS FROM TIME TO TIME.
A CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM WILL BRING THE POSSIBILITY OF WIDESPREAD LIGHT
SNOW TO OUR ZONES FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY AS IT QUICKLY PASSES
THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH AN INVERTED TROF SETTING UP BEHIND IT FROM
THE MID-ATLANTIC TO THE GREAT LAKES TO KEEP IT GOING. BOTTOM LINE
IS THERE WILL BE VERY LIMITED SUNSHINE...WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR WEDNESDAY...AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE
BALANCE OF THE DAYTIME PERIOD. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL START OFF NEAR
NORMAL...QUICKLY BECOMING SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
BEHIND AN OCCLUDED FRONT...COLDER AND DRIER AIR WILL MOVE BACK
INTO THE REGION FOR THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT. FLYING CONDITIONS
HAVE ALREADY IMPROVED BACK TO VFR...ALTHOUGH THERE REMAINS PLENTY
OF BKN-OVC CIGS AROUND 4-8 KFT THANKS TO LINGERING MOISTURE.
WINDS HAVE BECOME SW AND LOOK TO BECOME WESTERLY OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. WINDS SHOULD BECOME WEST AT 10-20 KTS WITH SOME HIGHER
GUSTS OVERNIGHT...ESP FOR KALB/KPSF. CIGS WILL REMAIN BKN...BUT
SHOULD STAY IN THE VFR RANGE.
VFR CONDITIONS LOOK TO CONTINUE TO ON MONDAY...AND IT SHOULD
REMAIN DRY. STILL...THERE WILL BE CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME...ESP
FOR THE NORTHERN TERMINALS...AS CLOUDS FROM LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY
TO THE WEST PASSES OVER THE AREA. WEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
GUSTY DURING DAYTIME MIXING...WITH SOME GUSTS OVER 25 KTS AT
TIMES. WINDS SHOULD GRADUALLY START TO DECREASE ON MONDAY
EVENING...AND CLOUDS WILL START TO DECREASE AS WELL.
