Twelve years ago, March 2012 was the warmest on record for most locations. The warmest First Day of Spring saw thermometers climb to 80 or more, the earliest it has reached 80 degrees on modern record. Global warming? Perhaps, however two years later, in 2014, the coldest March of the past century occurred, temperatures falling to the teens below zero for the first week of Spring.
