MARCH: IN LIKE A LION OR A LAMB?

Written by: Brian Neudorff

If you live along the eastern coast of the United states from the Carolinas all way up to New England March is definitely coming in like a lion. If you are out west in Denver where March came in with sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s then March came in like a lamb. But what about Rochester and the rest of Western New York? Is it more like a lion or a lamb.

In my opinion, with mostly sunny skies, very little wind, and no precipitation, March arrived in Western New York as a lamb not a lion. After talking to a few people it's starting to appear that my opinion doesn't count. Because of the harsh cold on Sunday many people view March arriving as a lion and hopefully leaving as a lamb.

It is very cold to start the month. We will be about 20 degrees below the average for Monday and about 15 degrees below average for Tuesday but the good news by weeks end is that warmer weather will arrive and we could be in the 40s by next weekend. As of now, that warming trend appears to be accompanied by some rain showers. We will have to wait and see.
