The State Climate Office of North Carolina put out a blog post today with a retrospective of the very snowy month of March 1960. Three Wednesdays in a row received snow in that month due to the influence of a negative North Atlantic Oscillation. The result was the coldest March on record. “By the end of March, high temperatures finally crept back above normal, but the nearly four weeks of cold, wintry weather left their mark on the month. The average statewide temperature of 37.24°F ranks as the coldest March on record going back to 1895, and is more than 12 degrees below the historical average.”
