Light precipitation spread east across the Mid Atlantic ahead of a low pressure system. Temperatures at the onset of precipitation were cold enough to produce snow. As precipitation spread east of the Blue Ridge, temperatures aloft increased to above freezing while temperatures at the surface remained below freezing. This caused eastern portions of the state to see a change over from snow to freezing rain. Road conditions began to rapidly deteriorate during the afternoon rush when rain began to freezing onto the roadways. Numerous traffic accidents were reported across the Washington DC suburbs.
Several inches of snow was reported west of the Blue Ridge, with less than an inch reported further east. Mostly ice was reported further east across northern Virginia and through the Washington DC suburbs.

A spring snowstorm hit northeast Nebraska from Thursday afternoon April 10th into the morning hours of April 11th.  A wet snowfall of 5 to 7 inches fell over sections of the region, accompanied by northwest winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph.  Although the wetness of the snow prevented significant drifting, and much of it melted by the afternoon of the 11th, visibilities were reduced to a mile or less at times as the heavy wet snow was blown around by the strong winds.  Heavier snow totals included 7 inches at Neligh in Antelope county, 6.4 inches at Lorreto in Boone county, and around 6 inches south of Verdel and south of Wausa both in Knox county.
The heavy snow was the result of an unseasonably strong storm system that tracked from southwest Kansas across eastern Nebraska.  This system brought scattered thunderstorms into southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa Thursday the 10th as a warm front lifted north into southeast Nebraska and southern Iowa.  The system also spawned several tornadoes farther east across Iowa.
