Looking Backwards and Forwards

Current Temps and Radar

March in Review

  • Average temp was 0.6″ above normal. Month’s high 82° (3/31), low 9° (3/6).
  • The SnowDome died. In all, we saw 2.9″ of snow, most in March since 1996.
  • Total rainfall 4.29″, which was 0.18″ above normal.
  • Probably the most unusual thing: March begins spring storm season, but there were no thunderstorms.
