A return to heavy mountain snows in late February and early March added significantly to the snow pack especially in the Upper Snake River Highlands and snow melt and heavy rains occurred sporadically from the middle of the month onward. The worst of the flooding occurred in Clark and Madison which were both declared state disaster areas by the end of the month. Low elevations in the central mountains also began to experience with extensive damage also occurring in Blaine County.
