Besides an April Fools' snowfall that brought anywhere from trace amounts to a couple of inches of snow to parts of the immediate region, last week was quite chilly in comparison to normal. Temperatures averaged 6.1 degrees below normal in Philadelphia, with the week featuring several days where temperatures couldn't crack 50 degrees -- especially Thursday where the high was just 44 degrees. We had fair weather to start last week, with a fair bit of sunshine on Monday through early Wednesday, followed by a couple of days of unsettled weather to close out the work week on Thursday and Friday. While Friday's storm system wasn't as potent as advertised initially, enough upper energy and dynamics helped make for an interesting and wintry morning commute in Chester and Montgomery Counties. All told, last week's storm brought just a quarter inch of rain to Philadelphia.
March, nationally, was accented by cold in the Northern Plains and drought in the South, which lead to a rather warm month of March in Texas. Much of the rest of the country was not far from average -- either slightly milder (South, Rockies) or colder (West, Great Lakes)...with the Northeast oscillating between warmth early and chill late.
