Warmer March in store?

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 05:55 AM

The past few days of much warmer weather has helped to eliminate much of the snow that has stuck around for most of winter. The featured chart looks at the relationship between having snow on the ground of a given day in February and then the average temperature that following March. The implication is clear, getting rid of the snow now leads to a few more degrees warmer weather in March. The chart also shows that the coldest, on average, March temperatures are when there is snow at the end of February and the warmest are when there is no snow at the beginning of the month.
