What spring?
Many parts of
the northern and eastern USA took a serious chill pill in March, and several
places probably will record one of their 10 coldest Marches.
"Several
cities in the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes and northern New England are flirting
with a top 10 coldest March," says Weather Channel meteorologist Chris
Dolce. "It's a huge turnaround from two years ago in March 2012, when many
of these same cities saw their warmest March on record."Dolce reports that Burlington, Vt., and Caribou, Maine, are seeing their coldest March since weather records began. (Burlington's weather records began in 1884 and Caribou's in 1939, according to the National Weather Service.)
Despite what
happens in the final days of the month, both cities are likely to see top 10
coldest Marches.
Other cities
that have been unusually frigid in March include Green Bay, Wis. (fourth
coldest), Buffalo (fourth), Detroit (sixth) and Chicago (eighth). Most of those
cities should remain in the top 10 regardless of temperatures this weekend.Nationally, according to data from the National Climatic Data Center, 2,071 record low temperatures have been set this month, compared with 242 record high temperatures.
