A large high pressure system moved across southern Canada on the 25th and was centered just northwest of Maine the morning of the 26th. It pumped unseasonably cold air into Sussex County New Jersey and temperatures early on the 26th were below freezing. Meanwhile a low pressure system moved from Oklahoma on the 25th into the Tennessee Valley on the 26th. This low pumped warmer air aloft above its warm frontal boundary toward Northwest New Jersey. While it was warm enough aloft for precipitation to fall as rain, as it reached the surface, it froze on contact. Precipitation started as freezing rain with some sleet around daybreak on the 26th. It changed quickly to rain in many of the warmer valleys, but persisted into the early evening across the higher terrain in the northwest part of the state.  Since most of the precipitation fell during the day and air temperatures were fairly close to freezing, roadway conditions were reported in good shape. The indirection insolation through the clouds was enough to keep most road surfaces wet and not icy. But, around one-quarter of an inch of ice did accrue on other exposed surfaces. In the early evening on the 26th, the low pressure system was nearing the area and pulled in enough warm air from the Atlantic Ocean to change the freezing rain to rain just as thunderstorms with heavier rain were moving into Sussex County.

Heavy snow of 6 to 16 inches fell across parts of central and northeast South Dakota from the early morning to the evening hours.

High winds raked part of south-central and  southeast Wisconsin for about 14 hours with gusts of 50 to 56 knots (58 to 64 mph).  The area from the Town of Taycheedah ( Fond du Lac Co.) to Greenbush (Sheboygan Co.) reported toppled trees and power lines.  In the city of Janesville (Rock Co.) a powerful gust toppled a restaurant sign onto power lines, resulting in a loss of electricity for 1 hour.  In the city of Delevan, the powerful winds pushed a tree onto power pole and nearby garage.  In the city of Kenosha, the high winds knocked bricks from a church bell tower, causing police to close off the local area.  Measured peak wind gusts from trained spotters were 56 knots (64 mph) three miles south of the city of Waukesha (Waukesha Co.),  and 50 knots (58 mph) in the Town of Taycheedah.  Other notable peak gusts were: 49 knots (56 mph) at the Sheboygan Airport (Sheboygan Co.) and Kenosha Airport (Kenosha Co.) , 48 knots (55 mph) in Lake Geneva (Walworth Co.), 47 knots (54 mph) at a location 2 miles southwest of the city of Fond du Lac (Fond du Lac Co.), and 46 knots (53 mph) at the Brodhead Airport (Green Co.).  Most other locations in south-central and southeast Wisconsin experienced peak gusts in the 35 to 45 knot range (40 to 52 mph).  Interestingly, the peak wind gusts (generally from the west) tended to occur with some of the more intense scattered snow showers, indicating that atmospheric mixing of higher-momentum air down to the surface was taking place in/near the snow showers.  Temperatures were in the 25 to 30 degree range during the afternoon hours of the 9th.  There were scattered reports of some trees pushed over from several of the counties surrounding the named counties in this high wind event.  Altogether, about 2500 customers in south-central and southeast Wisconsin lost electrical power due to toppled power lines.  Synoptically, a low pressure over eastern Colorado on March 8th moved to southeastern Kansas and deepened to 992 millibars (29.29 inches), and then tracked to Lake Superior by mid-day on the 9th with a central pressure of 988 millibars (29.18 inches).  High winds were observed over northern Iowa and much of Minnesota as well.
