A severe thunderstorm tracked across northern Lamar County and dropped hail from the size of dimes to the size of golfballs.  In many locations,  the hail covered the ground.  The path at times was 1 to 2 miles wide and 14 miles long.  Most of the hail fell in a rural area.

A storm that moved across Lamar County continued into northern Fayette County.  Dime to quarter size hail fell generally north of the city of Fayette.
A winter storm moving along the Canadian border brought warm air northward over a shallow layer of cold air over the Middle Mississippi Valley. This created a broad area of light freezing rain, sleet and freezing drizzle over Eastern Iowa, Northeast Missouri and Northwest Illinois. A few snow flurries or patchy light snow mixed with the freezing precipitation at times.  Ice accumulations were light and generally less than a tenth of an inch. However, ground temperatures in the middle and upper 20s allowed for a thin layer of ice to form on many road surfaces.  Numerous accidents were also reported in Bureau County where a heavy glaze of ice made travel treacherous. The main band of freezing rain fell 20 miles either side of an axis from Muscatine Iowa to Princeton Illinois.

Silver City.
A large ridge of high pressure at both the surface and aloft covered the eastern half of the United States as the work week began on March 6th. This ridge remained nearly stationary across the Southeastern United States from the 7th through the 9th. A mild southwest flow that began the afternoon of the 6th became progressively warmer as the work week continued. This climaxed in Delaware on Wednesday the 8th as one of the warmest days so early in the calendar year. High temperatures were as warm as the lower 80s, breaking the daily high temperature records. Some high level cloudiness on the 9th prevented temperatures from reaching the 80s again, but many locations again set new record highs for the date.  A series of cold frontal passages on the 10th and a subsequent onshore flow on the weekend (11th and 12th) brought temperatures down to seasonal levels. The highest readings (all on the 8th) included 82 degrees in Milford (Kent County) and Georgetown (Sussex County), 81 degrees at both the New Castle County Airport and Greenwood (Sussex County) and 79 degrees in Wilmington (New Castle County). New daily high temperature records were set on both the 8th (81 degrees) and the 9th (74 degrees) at the New Castle County Airport. The high of 81 degrees on the 8th was the earliest in the calendar year that the temperature reached 80 degrees. The previous earliest was March 12th in 1990.

The tight gradient (difference in surface pressures between a low pressure system along the Middle Atlantic Coastal Waters and a strong high pressure system in the Canadian Maritimes), produced high winds and some minor tidal flooding during the evening of the 21st. A peak wind gust of 67 mph was recorded in Delaware Bay. Three Delaware state employees that were sent to salvage a sinking dredge "The Diamond State" located about 1/4 mile from Broadkill Beach during the afternoon of the 21st had to be rescued themselves that evening. The dredge was swamped by water from high waves. A Coast Guard helicopter air lifted them to safety. Seas reached 8 feet and sustained winds in the bay reached as high as 45 knots (52 mph). On the mainland, the high winds caused the frame of a house under construction to collapse in Angola. The high winds knocked down a billboard in Lewes and small trees elsewhere. Branches and debris littered coastal townships. Several hundered homes lost power. The stiff onshore wind also caused some minor tidal flooding at the time of the evening high tide on the 21st. Flooding though was restricted to the first areas that "normally" flood.  Some erosion occurred as the beaches were pounded by waves as large as 10 to 15 feet. Seas became very high because the northeast flow persisted for a couple of days. The high tide at Lewes reached 6.6 feet above mean lower low water at 1006 p.m. EST on the 21st.

A major winter storm exiting the Southern Rockies moved through the Mississippi Valley and into the Great Lakes.  Warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico became entrained into the storm system resulting in a mixture of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow across Northeast Missouri.  The precipitation initially was expected to begin thursday afternoon.  However, the presence of dry air from a large canadian high pressure system, parked over the region for days prior, slowed the precipitation process and delayed the onset until thursday evening.  Once the precipitation finally began, it remained very light and intermittent and did not increase in coverage or intensity until friday morning.  Much of the precipitation fell in the form of rain, freezing rain and sleet.  This cut down on snowfall amounts with accumulations ranging from a trace to as much as 2 inches.  Ice accumulations were not significant, but did create slick and hazardous roads, and forced the cancellation of many schools on friday.  Isolated power outages were also reported.  Numerous minor vehicle accidents or fender-benders were reported with very few injuries.

A significant winter storm, only the second of the winter season, affected far southern Wisconsin for 17 to 20 hours.  Maximum snowfall rates were occasonally 1/2 to 1 inch per hour.  East to northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph resulted in blowing and drifting of snow. In open areas visibilities were reduced to 3/8 to 1/2 mile.  Maximum snowfall accumulations were 11 to 12 inches in southern Kenosha County, 10 inches at Lake Geneva (Walworth Co.), 10 inches in extreme southwest Racine County, and 9 inches across the southern parts of Rock, Green, and Lafayette Counties.  Further north, in the Madison to Milwaukee corridor,  4 to 7 inches fell, which was below the winter storm criteria of 8 inches or more in 24 hours or less.  Due to a 36-hour lead time for the Winter Storm Watch, highway snowplow crews were prepared well in advance.  However, motorists still had a tough time driving on slippery roads.  About 110 vehicle accidents were noted in Kenosha County alone, and there were probably about 300 total across the winter storm area.  Newspaper accounts indicated that about 75 people were injured.  This winter storm was preceded by an 8 to 12 hour period of scattered light snow.  The responsible low pressure center moved from the southern Rockies to extreme northern Oklohoma to southern Illinois to central Ohio.
