Coldest March for Seattle since 1976

KING5.com | News for Seattle, Washington

Last month was the coldest March at Sea-Tac (the local climatological station) since 1976. We only reached or exceeded the normal high temperature on three days in the entire month of March!

Even worse, the average high temperature for March was 48.0 degrees versus 48.5 degrees in February. March's high temperatures were colder than the month before essentially, we had two Februarys!!

Here at my house in Minnesota, that powerful blanket of CO2 pushed afternoon temperatures all the way up to 35 degrees F.

In 1882 on this date, without that blanket, it was only 80 degrees F.
