Thus far, we have failed to reach 60° in the month of March. That got me thinking a bit so I started sorting through a mountain of climate data.I posed the question, how many times have we failed to reach 60° for the entire month of March? After searching through the high temperatures for every day in every March since 1906, I came up with this: it has only happened 14 times. That means 86% of the time we should feel 60° heat at least once during the third month of the year. The last entire March that we went without a high of 60° was back in 2001.
I then started peering through the extended models. The jet stream looks like it will be setting up in a pattern that is fairly conducive to cooler than normal conditions. It is set to stay in a northwesterly flow, with the main storm track sticking to the south of us. I'll go out on a bit of a limb right now, and be the first to say that I don't think we are going to witness 60° again until April... :-( -ADAM

UGH. Bring on those warmer temperatures. Maybe kill off some of these dang cold and flu viruses. I wouldn't be surprised if we do get snow on thursday night since most if not all the snow has melted. Except a very few dirty snow piles. And I believe spring starts like 1245 or so in the morning.
You almost made me cry :(
I do like these fun random facts that you come up with though.
Wipe those tears Candice! We will make it back to 60° again this year... sometime... I promise!
