A cold front moved through the region during the afternoon and evening hours of March 11th. Strong cold advection occurred behind the front that helped to usher in much colder air into the region. As this occurred, precipitation began to changeover from rain to sleet to eventually all snow. Accumulations ranged from a dusting in some locations to up to three inches, all mainly occurring along and north of the Highway 82 corridor. South of this, amounts were more of a dusting up to one inch.
