Light drizzle and freezing drizzle during the afternoon and evening of March 8th gradually mixed in with and transitioned to a light, long-duration snowfall through the day on March 9th in response to increasing 850 hPa warm air advection and low-level saturation. Snow slowly dissipated from west to east late in the evening on March 9th and into the early overnight on March 10th. Ice accumulations were a glaze at best given warmer ground temperatures and total snowfall ranged from 1 to 5 inches across the region. Winds were light through the event, resulting in minimal overall impact.
