Elaine doing some shoveling out front on the first day of Spring.

High, low and median temperatures for winter 2010/2011
According to the calendar today March 20 is the first day of spring, which has been termed the vernal equinox and now usually just called the March equinox. Basically we have "turned the corner" with equal day and night and we start to lengthen the days. But we have not seen many signs of spring yet. We had another layer of snow today on the record snowfall we had this winter. With the amount of snow we have it is just as well if it does not melt too quickly. The temperatures have been slowly trending upward in March after some large swings close to 0C or above and then down to below -30C in January and February. But spring is on the way and we are very ready for it ...

You are right, those are pretty wild swings over very short time periods. I love that temperature graph.
