Warmest March on record. More days with high temperatures in the 60s and 70s than in the 30s and 40s (average). Almost no snow. A frost on March 27 is reported to have killed 90% of this year's peach and cherry crop. No Crocus has been blooming for more than a week. I have never seen the grass green, the flowers bloom, or the trees grow leaves this early.

Weather Update
Through A.D. 2012 March 08:
Total snowfall: 039 centimeters (slightly more than 15 inches)
Days with complete snow cover: 16
Maximum snow depth: 11 centimeters (about 4 inches)
Maximum low temperature: 0 degrees Fahrenheit (once)
Greatest snowfall: 10 centimeters (about 4 inches)
We got four centimeters of snow in the last eight days, but none of it lasted more than a couple of hours. Most days the high temperatures have been in the forties or fifties, with a couple in the 60s. If it hadn't been so windy, it would have been perfect. Even with the wind they were nice days. The 'Tricolor' Crocuses that started blooming way back in early February are still going strong, much to my surprise. They are gorgeous. The few Crocus ancyrensis 'Golden Bunch' that still bloom (most were eaten by chickens in consecutive years and it killed them) started blooming in the past week - I'm not sure which day. The tiny little snowdrops have been blooming for weeks. We're up to about 25% of our average annual snowfall, but even that is misleading considering how few days we've had snow, and considering that even when we've had snow, it was usually less than an inch.
