A winter storm produced 4 to 9 inches of snow across southwest Indiana. Snowfall amounts generally increased from north to south, ranging from about 5 inches along the White River to 8 or 9 inches along the Ohio River. Rain gradually changed over to snow during the late morning and afternoon. A few hours of sleet and freezing rain occurred during the transition from rain to snow. Roads quickly became very slick and hazardous. Up to one-half inch of sleet accumulated, followed by snow. The snow fell heavily during the evening, accumulating at the rate of one-and-one-half inches per hour and reducing visibility below one-half mile. Specific snowfall reports included: 8.5 inches at Rockport (Spencer County), 8 inches at Mount Vernon (Posey County) and at Evansville, 7.5 inches at Chrisney (Spencer County), and 7 inches at Petersburg (Pike County). Four inches was reported at Francisco (Gibson County). North winds gusted up to 25 mph, causing some drifting of the snow. In Posey County, Interstate 64 eastbound was shut down after an accident involving a snow plow and a semi. Schools were closed for the remainder of the week in most counties. The 8.5 inches of snow at Evansville was the fourth biggest March snowstorm on record at that location. The March record was set in 1960, when 10.9 inches fell early in the month. Some of the coldest air ever recorded in the month of March invaded southwest Indiana the day after the snowstorm, hampering snow removal efforts. The low temperature was zero at Evansville on March 6. This was only the fifth time a temperature of zero or below had been recorded in the month of March. In the wake of a strong cold front that passed through on the night of the 3rd, an arctic high pressure center moved southeast into the central Plains. A deep 500 mb trough progressed slowly eastward from the Rockies across the Plains. This trough was responsible for a sustained period of moist southwest flow aloft. The relatively moist air overrunning cold air near the surface set the stage for widespread moderate to heavy snow.

Much colder air aloft following the passage of a cold front produced the season's first snow event across much of southeast Wyoming.  Snow accumulations were variable due to initial melting, with amounts from two to five inches.   Interstate 80 and US Highway 30 were periodically closed between Laramie and Cheyenne during the early morning.  There was one traffic accident due to winter weather conditions which occurred around 2:30 AM local time. US Highway 287 from Laramie to the Colorado border was also closed.

From the Dexter/Bloomfield area westward, a few hours of light freezing rain caused roads to become slippery. The freezing rain was mixed with sleet at times. In Stoddard County, a vehicle travelling along Highway 25 near Advance slid off the road and overturned. The driver sustained minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to a regional hospital. High pressure over the Appalachian Mountains produced a southerly wind flow of milder air. As this milder air overrode a shallow layer of sub-freezing air, some light freezing rain and sleet occurred. The precipitation was enhanced by a 500 mb shortwave moving east across the southern Plains.

With only a little over a week since the previous heavy snowfall event on February 25th, the region again saw another winter weather maker. Luckily for most of the area, the region had begun a warmup that helped alleviate a lot of road issues. After cold high pressure had moved just to the north of the region around March 2nd, a warm front surged north, bringing moisture and much warmer temperatures back into the region. Temperatures warmed quickly on March 4th into the low to mid 70s but a change was in store. A cold front moved quickly to the southeast due to a very cold and strong high pressure building through southern Canada and northern Plains towards our region. Temperatures quickly plummeted some nearly 30-35 degrees in the wake of the cold front.
As the cold front quickly moved southeast, colder air continued to filter in. However, moisture lingered behind the front. Rain began to change over to sleet late the night of March 4th into early morning hours of March 5th. As colder air in the lower parts of the atmosphere continued to filter in, moisture began to transition over to a wintry mix, mainly in the form of sleet, in the northwest Delta. This setup was very favorable for a transition from rain to freezing rain to sleet. Moisture further southeast near the Natchez Trace corridor and Jackson metro began to transition over in the early morning hours of March 5th, with some moderate sleet falling in central Mississippi. Sleet and some snow began to mix into the Delta while the majority of the area saw a significant accumulation of sleet. Some areas in south and east Mississippi also saw some sleet but a little to no accumulation. Precipitation moved out late morning of March 5th.
Those who received a good amount of sleet and some snow accumulation (mainly along and northwest of the Natchez Trace corridor) saw anywhere between 1/2 inch to 1-2 inches in the far northern parts of the Delta and northern Mississippi. Due to being warm the two previous days, road issues were mainly limited to areas that received significant heavy sleet accumulation, mainly in the Delta and northern Mississippi. These areas saw numerous roads that were ice covered and very slick, making travel very hazardous. Areas in the Jackson Metro saw some slick roads but warm ground and road temperature from the previous few days alleviated some of the issues.

A light glazing from freezing rain occurred over the higher terrain of the Poconos during the afternoon of the 25th. While freezing rain accumulations were less than five hundredths of an inch, untreated surfaces became slippery. Precipitation initially started as rain during the early afternoon, but temperatures cooled to the freezing mark by the middle of the afternoon. The freezing rain ended during the late afternoon and temperatures rose slowly above freezing that evening. The precipitation was triggered by a warm front approaching Pennsylvania from the Ohio Valley. A departing high pressure system left enough cold, dry air in place near the surface for the precipitation to fall as freezing rain.
