From One Extreme to the Other

The low this morning of 10 degrees was not only a record for the date, but also a record for any day in March since records have been kept. Amazingly, we will be able to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts this weekend, as highs will reach the mid to upper 70s. The extended weather pattern indicates the possibility of another cold snap, but nothing like the snow pack-aided 10 degrees of today. Enjoy the nice warm up!

All-time March Record Low Broken

This morning's low temperature of 10 degrees not only broke the record low for March 4th, but also broke any low temperature in the month of March ever recorded! This morning was the coldest it has ever been in March at Richmond International Airport (on record). The previous March coldest temperature was 11 degrees, which occurred on several dates previously in March.
