The last time Hartford had a March colder than February was in 1984! and it's only happened 3 times since 1906!
The last time Hartford had a March colder than January was in 1950! But its happened 6 times since 1906. Interesting.
March colder than December only 12 times since 1906
Here's another interesting stat. Northwestern British Columbia is always warmer than northeast British Columbia during the winter months. So much so that Fort Nelson in the northeast is always colder than Dease Lake in the northwest (records began in the 1940s). Always until now. Not only was Dease Lake colder for the winter, but it was colder in all three months! It's never managed two months in winter let alone three!

Here's another...
The only other time NYC had a colder March than previous 4 months was 1960 & 1890.
Last time they had a colder March than February was 1984
I don't think will happen this year. Maybe just beat February & November of course.
I've made graphs of # of day with maxes for a given °F for an average year. Didn't sum over 10° ranges though
Very cool! I got something cooler, will post later on today in the Climate Map thread.

For NYC March was colder than February. Last time was 1984. Wasn't colder than Jan or Dec though all because of the warm couple days last week otherwise would of.
Boston did it. Never happened before. Getting some interesting historic cold shots recent years. Lets see if they can become more common in next few yrs.
