• Description:
  A significant snowstorm took place across New York State on Monday January 29, 1990, and continued over central and eastern sections of the state Monday night and Tuesday morning. Heavy snow accumulated 6 to 10 inches over much of upstate New York, with up to 17 inches reported across the southern Adirondacks and the upper Hudson Valley. This storm presented an excellent example of how various snow forecasting techniques such as positive isothermal vorticity advection (PIVA), and trajectory model net vertical displacements (Magic Chart technique) can be used to improve heavy snow forecasts.
