Last Month Was Hottest March On Record For Northeast Ohio

March was 13 degrees warmer than the average and featured a string of 10 consecutive days over 70 F

It might be cruel to remind everyone of how sunny it was last month -- considering it snowed in parts of Northeast Ohio overnight -- but it wasn't just warm in March; it was historically hot. March 2012 was the hottest March on record for Northeast Ohio, according to the National Weather Service. The average temperature was 51.4 F, Meteorologist Karen Clark said. "That's 13 degrees above the average, which is pretty extraordinary," she said. The previous record was an average of 49.5 F, which was set in 1946. The month also included an uninterrupted streak of 10 days that were 70 F or warmer. This too was a record for March in Ohio. Before that, the longest streak was seven days, which was set in 1945. Ohio's unseasonable warmth was the …

Why aren't the roads plowed better? Even the main roads like Cedar are thick mushy slush still with a little sand mixed in for show. They need to get rid of more of the mush that's accumulated on main roads at least.   more ›
