Since March 9th we've only had one day above 50F. In February we had 7 days above 50F and 3 above 60F. The difference between February and March is not as dramatic as before, but March is still nearly 3F colder than February
I'm continuously impressed by how horrible the climate is up there. March has been pretty crappy here too of course, but it's been pretty similar to February overall.

I had no idea how bad it could be here. I didn't have such a huge problem with the climate in New York City, but up here the climate took me by shock. I wish I could turn back time and study at a different university, I think even Stony Brook or UConn would be better than this
On a positive note, Seattle is one day away from registering their 4th below average month in a row! They're at -.4F right now and today has been seasonable so I think it's pretty safe. Without that Blob there, Seattle is just as prone to cold waves as the rest of the country. If you feel bad for Seattle, remember how we were below average for 5 out of 6 months from November 2013 to April 2014, and then again from November 2014 to April 2015
The cold winter in the PNW was great. The past 3-4 winters had been terrible with persistent above normal temps and very little snow.
...Southeastern Plains into northwestern Gulf coast region...
Aforementioned warm sector environment conditions appear more than
favorable for organized severe storm development, in the presence of
increasing large-scale forcing for ascent. Timing of initiation of
intense boundary layer based storm development remains somewhat
unclear, but it appears possible as early as Sunday morning in the
presence of low-level warm advection across southeast Texas. This
activity may be mostly discrete in nature, in the presence of
moderately large CAPE, strong deep layer shear and sizable
clockwise-curved low-level hodographs. Evolving supercells are
expected to be accompanied by the risk for tornadoes, a few of which
may be strong.
Discrete supercell development may persist through the afternoon
hours, and perhaps the remainder of the period, spreading toward the
lower Mississippi Valley, ahead of an evolving convective system
which may be accompanied by a considerable risk for potentially
damaging wind gusts. Portions of central and eastern Texas into
Louisiana still appear the mostly likely areas that could be
impacted by an evolving convective system, but northeastward
development into portions of the Ozark Plateau and adjacent
Mississippi Valley may not be out of the question by late Sunday
night.
