Hello All,
From a paper called A Look at the Wasula Storm from a Forecaster's
Perspective

Hugh W. Johnson IV
NOAA/NWS, Weather Forecast Office, Albany, New York

"The final burst of snow appeared to be the result of low level convergence
that often occurs as the winds turning west in the Mohawk Valley, converge
with the still northerly winds found in the Hudson Valley. This usually
takes place as the surface low passes to the east of Albany. "

Regards,
Declan Cannon

I've been trying to figure this out myself. But it is very noticeable
in most storms how a heavy band of snow sets up over the Mohawk and/or
Hudson valleys. Last night it was more the Hudson valley.. that band
eventually did move over Vermont and the Berks.
