The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.
Low pressure tracked from the Great Lakes into Canada during the evening of the 7th into the morning of the 8th. The associated cold front brought rain to Central New York during this time. Following the passage of the front, during the late afternoon the 8th through the mid-morning hours the 9th, a cold moist northwest flow of air crossed the relatively warm waters of Lake Ontario. This led to heavy lake effect snow in north Central New York, especially Northern Oneida County.
