Overview

On Thursday, December 13th, the region experienced a widespread winter storm. The storm only produced precipitation for 8 or 9 hours, but packed a whollop. See the reports below for the snow (and sleet) accumulations. Snow was deepest over the North, with Sleet the predominant precipitation type in the central third of the state. Freezing rain fell across the southern third to half of the state, accumulating up to a third of an inch on trees, power lines, and untreated surfaces, but turned to plain rain later in the storm. The heavy sleet and ice caused a few power outages.
