March 2013 will definitely be remembered for its prolonged but not highly unusual cold snaps. Temperatures through the month, particularly high temperatures, certainly reflect this. Our average high temp through the month of March was over 6 degrees below the monthly normal, while our average low temperature through the month was pretty close to the 30 year normal. Despite all the cold, we were drier than normal by a little over an inch. Snowfall was below normal as well (at least in Clarksburg) by a little more than three and a half inches.
This is a HUGE contrast to what we saw both temperature and precipitation-wise across the state just a year ago in March 2012, when we saw the warmest March on record and one of the wetter Marches on record:
