If you think that this March and early April is a lot colder than last year; it's not you. A quick comparison between highlight days (temps reaching above 60) shows that there is a big difference between the two years.
March through today March through April 5, 2010
Days reaching above 60 5 14
Days reaching above 70 1 6
So which one is the abnormality? We would love to think that it is this year. But the truth is that last year was the more rare event. This spring temperatures are averaging less than a degree below the long term average. Last year we were over 4 degrees above average through this date. It truly was one of the more memorable springs that I can remember. Makes you long for the good old days of the spring of 2010.
