Jan 27, 1996
A low pressure system over the upper Great Lakes produced a general rainfall of one to two inches across eastern New York with up to three inches of rain across parts of the Catskills. This amount of rainfall on already saturated soil brought many small streams out of their banks across Green County which washed out several roads. The Schoharie Creek also flooded. Some of the damaged roads included route 296 from Hunter to Tannersville, county route 2 in Lexington, route 32A and Pennsylvania
