Surface low pressure moved off the southern Mid Atlantic coast the morning of March 6th, and continued moving slowly east into the north Atlantic through March 9th while intensifying. The low brought sustained northeast winds of 30 to 39 mph and wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph to the region during the day on March 6th, then produced some light snow the night of the 6th. An upper level low moving southeast from the upper Great Lakes region interacted with the offshore surface low to produce more significant snowfall on March 7th and 8th.
