"If you live anywhere 30 miles or more NW, N or NE of NYC I’m not sure why you would expect March to be anything but another winter month which is what it is the far majority of the time. I guess some people on the coastal plain view it differently, but I’ve lived here most of my life and have never counted on extended warmer weather until late April the earliest. "

For those of us on the coast we usually get the worst of both worlds in March and into April.  Sure we'll get some snow, a decent amount in some years, but to get anything that sticks around for more than a day is a rarity.  At the same time when N&W get some of those nice early spring fever days with temps into the upper 60s, we'll have the ocean breeze / backdoor cold fronts / whatever it's called that keep us in  the damp upper 40s here, which seems to nag us through Memorial day now and then.

I like the snow as much as anyone, but once we're past about the time the clocks more forward, I'm ready for spring.  On that note, to folks like myself who have been around awhile and remember daylight savings starting in early and even late April, seeing snow falling  with the sun setting around 7PM is bizarre.

Ok, ramble over..
