What March feels like

March is a negotiation — a stretch of thaw, then a nor'easter to remind you it isn't over. St. Patrick's Day in Southie is a citywide event, and the Sox head to Florida while the city is still shoveling.

Winter is doing its thing: 9.0 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 4 days. about 16 nights dip below freezing.
