Actually, my recollection is that we're now having what's typical for March....at least in the metro-DC area where I live.  What was out of the ordinary was the strange, warm February.   I'm concerned that traditional spring won't be as pretty as usual, since we''ve already had some of the trees and flowers blooming....way ahead of schedule.

@Shanus, II am really excited about your son building those beautiful raised beds, but with the weather you are getting, I would plant the brisket seeds in doors and water with a little tomato juice every day.  I'd wait until after the last frost  before planting outside....

We had a low of about 38 this morning...supposed to be 79 this afternoon. Tomorrow roughly the same. Saturday the high will be 62, Sunday 52 with lows in the high forties. I live in South Carolina. Our azaleas and dogwoods are blooming! We've had a warmer than usual winter, but this is nuts.

Where I work is just a couple miles from the Augusta National Golf Course...home of the Masters Tournament.  It's famous for it's beautiful grounds. I'll be surprised if there's a flower on the course by tournament time, which is the 1st week in April. It will still be beautiful, even without flowers, but it takes your breath away when everything is in bloom!

SW PA.  Appears today is our last day of spring like weather and we will be heading backwards to winter for the next week or so.  Highs in the mid 30s, lows in the teens and the dreaded snow.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the trees that are budding and the plants that have already sprouted and are up 4-5 inches.

It's supposed to start snowing here in my part of Ohio around 5:00 this evening.  They are calling for 1-3" of snow.

By the second day of March, we had already had more snow for the month than we had all of February which is very unusual.  The forecast I saw today was through next Wednesday and it's supposed to be in the upper 20s.

Stay warm and safe @spud188

We had some windy days, too @qualitygal. No damage except for blowing more pollen around from early blooming trees and flowers that thought spring had arrived. Surprise!!
