Ehhh, below normal in mid to late March is not that bad. For my area I'd be shocked if we get below 30 again until end of the year.

I know that we have had hard freezes in March, usually early to mid, before so I don't count out the 20s until the end of the month.

Thanks. Even way down here, record lows til the midpoint of March are in hard freeze territory including a 26 on March 16th in 2017! There were even a couple of hard freezes in late March though they were way back in the 1950s.

We frequently get freezes into mid April in central NC. A few years ago during the first week of turkey season (second week of April) I woke up to 24 degrees in Louisburg NC, was absolutely not dressed for that. Long range looks extremely warm for first half of March, but I am confident there will be more sub freezing mornings before April

 Wow! In terms of light freezes, KSAV has had them as late as April 16th! But that 32 was way back during a colder era, 1962. However, we’ve much more recently in early April had 2 light freezes in 2007 and even a 32 on April 3rd just 5 years ago!
