2015 (Wednesday)

2017 (Saturday)
Although cold days in March aren't unusual, today's high/low of 30°/17° was a shock since it came after the mildest February on record. And after dark the wind chill was close to 10°. The last time a day was so cold this winter was on Jan. 9 (high/low of 23°/14°).
2019 (Monday)
Snow that accumulated two inches yesterday evening continued overnight, adding three more inches. (For the entirety of the storm the temperature stayed above 32°.) These were the fourth and fifth days in a row with measurable snow, just the third time this has happened, joining streaks during the winters of 1923 and 1938. This snowfall also brought March's snowfall to 10.4", more than the 10.1" that fell in the preceding four months.
