Considerable additional accumulation of snow in the Mountains and southern Piedmont following the snow earlier in the same week, was followed by the greatest March snow of record on the immediate coast. Damage estimate included the cost of rescue operations by Civil Defense, National Guard, Army, and Red Cross in the northern Mountains where total snow accumulations reached 3 feet with drifts to 30 feet, marooning residents in isolated areas. Rescue operations were initiated in connection with this particular storm, but were the result of problems created by accumulations from the previous two snowstorms, as well as additional snow which continued to fall in flurries for several days. | |||
