| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system formed off the New Jersey coast during the early morning hours and intensified rapidly as it moved to a position 60 miles south of Newport, Rhode Island by early evening. Pressure falls of 14 millibars occurred during a 12 hour period. The system then retreated to the south during the evening.Precipitation began mostly as rain during the morning of March 31st. It began mixing with and then finally changing to all heavy, wet snow during the afternoon. Snow began accumulating rapidly, especially in the higher elevations. Blizzard conditions developed by late afternoon and evening, as northeast winds increased and gusted to 30 to 40 mph. Numerous power outages began to occur by evening as the weight of the wet snow brought tree limbs and wires crashing down. Snow accumulations of more than one foot, including 17 inches at Jaffrey, were reported by midnight in the higher elevations, with 6 to 12 inches elsewhere. The final effects of this storm will be reported in April 1997 Storm Data. |
