This system retreated to the south during the early morning hours of April 1st, pulling in cold air from the north. The center then moved slowly eastward.Heavy snow and strong winds produced near-blizzard conditions across the area during the early morning hours of April 1st. Snowfall totals of 12 to 21 inches were reported. Some totals included: Putnam, 21 inches; Union, 18.5 inches; and Mansfield, 16 inches. About 98,000 electric customers lost power statewide when the heavy, wet snow knocked down tree limbs and power lines.
