Increasingly dry conditions were noted during the first part of March.  Rainfall, for the first time in many months, was beginning to fall below normal values.  The frequent rains of the winter were coming less often as colder, drier conditions had dominated much of late February and into early March.  A week of warm temperatures and low relative humidity helped fuel two human-caused wildfires during the first part of March.
One wildfire occurred on March 7th in the Anna Ruby Falls area of White County in the northeast Georgia mountains.  This fire burned 17.3 acres during a 7-hour period and resulted in $10,000 in damages.

Severe thunderstorms produced large hail, strong winds and tornadoes across parts of Adams, Arapahoe, Elbert, Morgan and Weld Counties.  The hail, up to half dollar size, came down so heavy along parts of Interstates 70 and 76 that snowplows had to be called out to remove it.  In Weld and Morgan Counties, very heavy rain and hail accompanied thunderstorm winds up to 75 mph.  The heavy rain caused some street flooding in parts of Greeley.  Approximately 1300 residents lost power briefly in the towns of Johnston and Milliken.  Two brief tornados were observed in Adams and Elbert Counties but no damage was reported.  Several minor accidents were reported with snowpacked and slick road conditions along with very low visibilities.
