| Episode Narrative | A strong cold front crossed the region on the afternoon of March 15th, ushering in drastically colder temperatures. A low pressure system approached the region that night and moved north along the Atlantic coast on March 16th. As the low approached the region early on the 16th, precipitation became widespread and continued through much day. Warm air briefly surged ahead of the low pressure system, allowing precipitation to begin in the form of rain. Colder air quickly filtered in behind the low, allowing rain to change to snow. |Snowfall amounts ranged from 2 to 8 inches. Schools were canceled in Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan Counties. Newspapers reported numerous traffic accidents and minor injuries due to the hazardous driving conditions. |
| Event Narrative | Trained Spotters reported between 4 and 6 inches of snow across Morgan County. Newspapers reported numerous car accidents with minor injuries. Schools also closed early due to the winter weather. |
