First day of Spring...
The first day of Spring; the clothes are hanging on the clothes line, the garden is plowed, the grass cut.
So far, the heat wave of March has broken or tied records for five straight days.
That streak could come to an end today.
Today's predicted high in the 80's is still way above the average 55 degree mark for this time of year, but the record for today's date - 85 degrees was set in 1907.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, new record highs were set for those dates when temperatures hit 83 degrees on both days.
A record high was set Sunday at 79 degrees.
The records were beaten by a single digit on each of the three dates.
Record highs were tied on Saturday (76 degrees) and Monday (81 degrees).
The oldest record to be broken during the five-day span: Tuesday, the warmest March 20 since 1894.
Enjoy!
