Weather: March 2014 one of coldest in over 100 years in Central New York | syracuse.com
Syracuse, N.Y. -- The March we just endured in Central New York was among the coldest in the past century.
March 2014 is likely to go down in the books as the fifth-coldest since records began in 1903.
The average temperature for March looks like it will end up at 25.8 degrees -- about 8 degrees below the normal of 34 degrees. Just six days this month were at or above normal temperatures; the rest were as far as 22 degrees below a typical March.
(Average temperatures for any day are calculated by adding the high and low, then dividing by two.)
March has been so cold it's felt more like a typical January, when the average temperature is 23.6. We only cracked 50 degrees twice in March. December, January and February were all below normal, too.
The first day of April should finally feel like spring. The forecast is for lots of sun and a high of 56.
