A wild snowstorm ripped through the Hudson Valley on February 13. While some residents were buried in snow, others wound up never even seeing one flake. Photographers from around the region submitted their snow photos to us. They show just how mixed the snowfall totals were.

The storm was originally forecast to dump up to a foot of snow over the entire region. A last-minute shift, however, sent meteorologists into a tailspin. On Monday night the forecast drastically changed, predicting the storm to begin tracking south.
As a result, the snow line wound up cutting right through Dutchess and Ulster Counties. This meant that towns just a few miles apart would experience very different snowfall amounts.
The New York State Thruway Authority shared images from two different traffic cameras taken at the exact same time. The one in Kingston shows bone-dry conditions while the other camera just 15 miles away in New Paltz recorded an intense snowstorm.
During an early morning ride from Wappingers Falls to Poughkeepsie, one driver described slipping and sliding all over the roads that were buried in snow only to eventually wind up in a completely dry parking lot.
