In like a lion, out like a lamb: the changeable weather of March

It seems like everyone was getting ready for spring during the last part of February, as mild weather melted a lot of snow on the ground and made large portions of the Delaware River ice free.

During the first few days of March, however, it was a different story: three to five inches of snow fell into the area, and temperatures fell into the single digits. It felt much colder, with winds over 30 mph right after the storm. No doubt about it, we can get some interesting weather in March. The blizzard of March 13 to 14, 1993 was very memorable, with about 30 inches of snow in the area.

If the old saying is true, “in like a lion-out like a lamb,” then we should be looking at a mild end of the month, with the first daffodils popping up soon after. Mild weather is in the forecast. In the meantime, enjoy some winter scenery scenes from the 5th of March along the river.
