what spring and summer have in store for us.

This used to be the very dead of winter with temps in the single digits above and below 0.
It has been in the 30s and 40s pretty much all winter - March and April temps around here.

We HAVE had snow storms in March, as I recall. HERE!
'14! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/03/18/rare-mid-march-snowstorm-in-washington-d-c-photos/

'Last winter, the official biggest snowstorm in D.C., as measured at Reagan National Airport, didn’t occur until March. It was a terrible winter if you were a snow lover because no snowfall of greater than 1 inch occurred near downtown D.C. from December through February. Then, on March 25, 1.4 inches of snow fell, which was quite unusual for so late in the season, especially for a winter that was relatively snow-free.

This winter, something even more unusual and incredible happened. On March 16-17, 7.2 inches of snow was recorded at National Airport which bested this year’s previous high mark of 7 inches which occurred in the mid-February snow event. Even more impressive, Dulles Airport reported 11.1 inches of snow with the storm.

Our mid-March snowstorm was also one of the biggest storms on record for so late in the season, dropping more than five times the normal snow for D.C. during the whole month. In addition, it really didn’t seem like a March snowstorm because the snow was rather dry and fluffy and it did not quickly melt following the storm. It seemed more like a mid-January snowstorm.'
