Problem is the lack of rain. Reservoirs don't have much left. Fairbanks is having some nice spring weather. Partly Sunny, high of 49°F today and tomorrow there. Still got a lot of snow on the ground, but less than the hills east of us.
I'd say the west heat since it's so dry. Here in the east our patience will pay off because when the cold ends and those 90 degree days do come, it will be with dewpoints in the upper 60s and 70s.
Someone said to me today "but we usually get this cold even in April and May" So I had to check....
Sure enough I came across something interesting...
Bridgeport max today was 40 and it was just for an hour at 1am. Most of day in the low-mid 30s.
The last time Bridgeport failed to pass 40°F after March 27th was in 2007. So it's been a few yrs since we stayed cold like this, this late (8yrs ago!). We don't usually stay in the 30s this late at the coast!
Normal amount of times max temp staying below 41° in March is 8 at BDR. This year we have 15 with 3 days left.

Danbury's max is 36 today which came at midnight for an hour. Most of the day its been below freezing. WOW. Last time staying below 37° was 2003.
Not too common to be this cold like this.
Mid Afternoon Temps March 28th.
This is how it feels with the wind. Amazing. Teens in Pittsburgh and WV hills. 22°F here.
Nice. Looks like a Blue Hesper (Brahea armata) palm in the foreground.
