The wider storm

Deepening low pressure lifted northeast along the coast March 12th and moved offshore March 13th. This system produced widespread light snow during the overnight hours of March 12th to the early morning hours of March 13th. With surface temperatures at or above freezing and ground temperatures well above freezing little impact occurred with the snowfall with most accumulations up to an inch on grassy and elevated surfaces. As the low deepened offshore it produced strong winds along the coast late on March 12th, especially over the Outer Banks.
