The way some people classify March is almost comical. In many parts of the forum average temperatures in early March are still below freezing. To call it a spring month, even though I know it's part of Met Spring, is misleading unless you're referencing late March in the southern portions of the forum. Of course it can snow in April in any part of the forum. 

The warming during March has prevented several stations like EWR, NYC, and LGA from having another 10”+ snowstorm since 1993.

Got to hope the cold returns late February.

Enjoy the cold while it last because it will pretty much be done when February is over. March will start out warm, with at least one 60+ degree day in the first week of the month.

You are still on the warm train? You have been warm the whole winter.
