In spite of a mild winter, severe winter cold made its brief and only visit on this date in 1913. Temperatures fell to -23 in St. Johnsbury, and -36 in Bloomfield, the coldest March temperature on record. However, it was also the last day to remain below freezing as temperatures in the 50s and 60s caused rapid melting, ice jams, and floods.
