Precipitation then persisted following a cold frontal passage brought a wintry mix of precipitation to the higher terrain of the Poconos from the evening of the 12th into the morning of the 13th. While overall ice (less than one tenth of an inch) and snow (less than one inch) amounts were light, plunging temperatures from the 40s on the 12th into the single numbers on the 13th caused treacherous driving conditions untreated roadways.  Precipitation started as rain during the afternoon of the 12th. After the cold front passed through the Poconos late that afternoon, temperatures started plunging and precipitation persisted. The rain changed to freezing rain that evening and then to snow before midnight. The steady snow ended early on the 13th, but scattered snow showers and even some snow squalls persisted through the morning. Combined with strong winds, poor visibilities and blowing and drifting of snow also occurred that morning.

A stacked low pressure system passed south and east of southern New England bringing widespread rainfall to much of the region. This system was anomalously moist with precipitable waters two to three standard deviations above normal for late March. Anywhere from two to five inches of rain fell across southern New England with the highest amounts falling along the south coast of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. This resulted in flooding and flash flooding across much of the area.

Rainfall on April 7 produced an inch of rain over Saint Lawrence County NY, and a quarter to half inch of rain elsewhere. Runoff from this rainfall along with temperatures in the 50s produced rises on rivers on April 8 and 9 that were sufficient to break up river ice. Ice movement was noted mainly on northern rivers. The Great Chazy at Perry Mills went above flood stage due to an ice jam and a flood warning was issued, with minor impacts to local roads and additional ice jam flooding downstream in Champlain Village. On April 9 through 11 the rainfall and snowmelt runoff caught up with the slow responding rivers in St. Lawrence County NY, with reports of flooding mainly along the Oswegatchie, Grass, and St. Regis Rivers.

Runoff from heavy rain and snowmelt caused rivers and streams to go into flood across St. Lawrence County. Because of the relatively flat landscape, areas remained in flood for several days. The Oswegatchie and its tributaries flooded western portions of the county, including the Maple City Recreation Trail in Ogdensburg, and county Route 15 near Heuvelton. Further upstream County Rte 3 in Rossie and Rte 7 in Macomb we closed due to flooding. Other tributaries to the St. Regis river flooded Hopson, O'Neil, and Munson Roads near Brasher NY.
A low pressure system that traversed across the southern United States brought heavy snow to the Maryland Eastern Shore on the 16th and 17th. Snowfall averaged 4 to 7 inches. The snow fell through the morning commute on the 17th and coupled with below freezing temperatures made for very hazardous travel on untreated and less traveled roadways.
The snow began across the Eastern Shore between 6 p.m. EDT and 7 p.m. EDT on the 16th. The snow fell at its heaviest overnight and tapered off during the daylight hours of the 17th. The snow ended from north to south between 2 p.m. EDT and 5 p.m. EDT on the 17th.
Representative snowfall included 6.8 inches in Greensboro and Denton (Caroline County), 6.5 inches in Easton (Talbot County) and Galena (Kent County), 6.2 inches in Trappe (Talbot County), 6.0 inches in Kent Island (Queen Anne's County), 5.5 inches in Bellevue and Royal Oak (Talbot County), 5.0 inches in Queenstown (Queen Anne's County) and Northeast (Cecil County), 4.6 inches in Charlestown (Cecil County) and 4.0 inches in Elkton (Cecil County).
The snow was caused by a pair of low pressure systems that moved across the southern part of the United States. On the morning the 16th the primary low pressure system was located over Arkansas. It moved east and at 8 p.m. EDT was located over northern Alabama. Very early on the 17th, a secondary low pressure system started forming near Wilmington, North Carolina as the primary low pressure system reached Atlanta, Georgia. While the secondary low pressure system moved offshore during the day on the 17th, the original (primary) low pressure system was slowly suppressed south as a high pressure system built into New York State. This ended the snow across the Eastern Shore.

A relatively dry October 2013 through early February 2014 period with precipitation running around only 50 percent of normal turned unusually wet one week into February and continued through March. Precipitation during February and March ranked in the top 10 all-time for this time period, running between 150 and 200 percent of average.
On a warm and dry 22nd of March, 2014, a large landslide occurred four miles east of the town of Oso, Washington. The slide debris, traveling at over 60 miles per hour, crossed the entire river valley, covering an area of over a square mile with an approximate deposit thickness of 15 to 75 feet in some areas. The force of the slide flow caused 43 fatalities, 12 injuries, destroyed 37 homes, and wiped out SR 530 for over a mile. In addition, the slide debris completely blocked the North Fork Stillaguamish River for over 24 hours, backing up a pool of water that flooded the valley about 2 miles upstream and reached approximately 20 feet deep, inundating an additional 6 homes. The cause of the slide is not fully known, though precipitation in the previous months to years contributed to the ground failure. A rain gage located 2 miles west of the slide had 19.93 inches of rain in the 40 days leading up to the slide.
As of March 19th the nearest reporting station Arlington, had reported 7.14 inches of rain, which is about 2 inches shy of the record 9.23 for the entire month of March.  Three days before the slide, the area received close to an inch of rain in one day.
