An enhanced west to east band of wet snow developed across eastern Kentucky into southern West Virginia on the 3rd, ahead of a weak low pressure system. Temperatures were in the low and mid 30s in the valleys to the upper 20s across high terrain.
Accumulations were very elevation dependent.  Accumulations of less than 2 inches were common along many river valleys.  For example, Madison and Logan both had around an inch of accumulation. In Wayne County accumulations varied from less than 2 inches in the north to around 5 inches in the south. Most valley roads were just wet or slushy.
Accumulations of 3 to 5 inches were more common across high terrain.  For example, across the southern plateau, 4 inches was reported around Ghent and 5 inches near Oak Hill and Beckley.  Meadow Bridge also saw 4 to 5 inches of snow. Travel was slowed across higher terrain during the late afternoon and early evening.  This included portions of the the West Virginia Turnpike.
The wet snow caused power outages.  The most customers affected were in Wayne County, where around 3600 customers lost electricity.  Boone County had around 1200 structures without electricity. Lincoln County had about 600 residents lose electricity.

A strong frontal boundary pulled up stationary south of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana during the early morning hours of March 17th. However, an elevated boundary near 850mb was located nearly stationary across the Middle Red River Valley of Northern Texas into Southern Arkansas. Flow aloft was mostly west to east across the Southern Plains at this time but subtle weak disturbances and strong deep layer shear resulted in the development of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma during the overnight and early morning hours of March 16th-17th. After sunrise, these storms progressed eastward into Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana.  While the atmosphere was pretty stable at the surface...moderate instability existed aloft which resulted in rather steep mid level temperature lapse rates.  This was conducive for the development of large hail which was widespread across the region, ranging from pea size to up to golfball size.
