A strong upper level disturbance combined with an inverted trough at the surface to produce heavy snow across northwest Minnesota. The event began as light rain, then changed over to snow as cold air was drawn into the system. The heavy, wet snow broke some tree branches and resulted in scattered power outages. A foot of snow fell from the Lake of the Woods to Thief Lake, with 6 to 10 inches of snow common across the rest of the warning area. The heavy snow moved very slowly from west to east, resulting in a slow eastward progression of warnings. Therefore, the heavy snow warning was issued first for Kittson and western Marshall counties (3/26/03 at 10:50 pm cst), next for Roseau and eastern Marshall counties (3/27/03 at 3:58 am cst), and last for Lake of the Woods and northern Beltrami counties (3/27/03 at 7:34 am cst). The warnings for Kittson, east and west Marshall, and Roseau were cancelled at 8:33 am cst on 3/27/03, while Lake of the Woods and northern Beltrami were cancelled at 11:30 am cst on 3/27/03.
