A deepening low pressure system, originating from the southern plains, moved towards the western Great Lakes on Wednesday March 9th. A wintry mix of precipitation changed over to all rain as the warm front associated with this system pushed across the region on Wednesday morning. Periods of moderate to heavy rain continued through the passage of the upper level trough late Thursday. With much of the region already saturated from previous rainfall over the past 2 weeks many streams and creeks were already elevated. The additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall resulted in my streams and creeks gong out of their banks throughout east central Ohio, western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. As the low progressed to the east rain changed back to snow bringing 4 to 5 inches of heavy wet snow to east central Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania, mainly north of I-70. Higher amounts of 6 to 8 inches fell in in Columbiana, Mercer, Lawrence and Venango counties.
