A strong southwest flow of air preceding a cold front produced wind gusts of 40 to around 50 mph along the southeast New Jersey coast during the morning of the 25th. These winds tore down weak tree limbs and power lines. Peak wind gusts included 52 mph in Tuckerton (Ocean County), 50 mph in Ocean City (Cape May County) and 44 mph in Harvey Cedars and Beach Haven in Ocean County.

A large pickup truck was swept off a private low-water crossing on a farm about 6 miles southwest of Dennard. The truck traveled a short distance down Archey Creek and became hung up on a large rock. The three occupants of the truck climbed atop it and waited for rescue. Due to the complicated, precarious nature of the situation, the rescue ended up taking more than 7 hours. During that time, a cold front moved through and the temperature dropped below freezing, causing ice to form on the rescue ropes. All three people were rescued successfully, but two were transported to the hospital for hypothermia.

Primarily during the pre-dawn hours of Thursday the 18th, most of the 30-county South Central Nebraska area picked up a minor, light coating of snow up to around one-half inch. However, the far southeast fringes of the local area, especially Nuckolls and Thayer counties, featured a more concentrated zone of higher amounts generally in the 1.5 to 3��� range. Per a combination of NWS cooperative observers and NeRAIN observers, a few of the highest overnight totals featured 3.0��� at Byron and also seven miles northeast of Superior, 2.6��� in Superior, 2.1��� in Bruning and 2.0��� at Hubbell. Fortunately, light wind made this an almost ���ideal��� snowfall, as sustained easterly speeds only averaged around 5 MPH.
Timing-wise, the vast majority of accumulation occurred between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. as the Nuckolls/Thayer area resided along the far northwest edge of a larger snowfall swath of generally 2-5��� that mainly targeted central and northeast Kansas. On the large scale of the mid and upper levels, this fairly low-impact event was driven primarily by broad isentropic lift focused along and north of a low-amplitude shortwave trough shifting across KS and toward the MO/IA border through the night, with only a fairly weak contribution from frontogenetic forcing. At the surface, the very light wind was fostered by a weak pressure gradient on the southwest fringes of a broad high centered over the Upper Mississippi Valley.

Dry and warm conditions, along with gusty southwest winds, help fuel several fires near Lincoln. Temperatures that reached around 70 degrees combined with dew point readings in the teens to lower 20s lowered relative humidity values to less than 20 percent for several hours from late in the morning through mid afternoon on March 15th.  Winds were southwest at 15 to 30 mph, but shifted to the northeast at 30 to 45 mph as a cold front pressed south by mid to late afternoon.  The cooler air helped raise relative humidity readings, but only marginally until early evening when temperatures cooled more significantly.  Several fires in the area quickly burned out of control due to the dry, windy weather.  One near Lincoln, of unknown origin, caused around $200,000 worth of damage and threatened many structures was contained before doing much more damage.  The other significant fire, in Seward county west of Lincoln, started when a controlled burn got out of control.  This fire burned around 1,000 acres.  In all it was estimated that at least a half dozen good-sized grassfires in southeast Nebraska this day according to a Lincoln fire investigator.
