Slow Transition to Spring

Sometimes we turn the calendar to March and it's like we flip a switch. We get a quick warm up and suddenly we're in Spring. This month, however, I don't think we're really see Spring for another couple weeks. At least not a constant Spring.

For at least the next 10 days, this is how the weather pattern will play out. Yes, it'll make for an active time for us, but it will not allow prolonged warmth:

Like we will have tonight in to tomorrow, what we should expect in this pattern is to be on the warm side of deepening lows, bringing us rain and wind, with a strong shot of cold on the backside. We'll have one day of warm, followed by 2-3 days of cold until the next storm moves in.

I think we've seen our coldest day until next Winter already. I recorded 7 degrees on March 5th, and we may not even see air that cold again until January 2020! Just because our coldest air is behind us doesn't mean we're completely out of the woods. I think we still have an outside chance of one more accumulating snow before everything is said and done.

Just like our slow decent in to Winter, we'll have a slow climb out of it as well.
