Wellsville: March weather snapshot

The month of March delivered a range of activity in Wellsville. Remember March 5th, when the temperature dropped to 7.2 degrees! The high temperature peaked at (about 55) on both March 29th and 31st.
Compared with March 2017, the amount of liquid precipitation was DOWN. In March 2017, the sky dumped 4.21 inches of liquid precipitation....just 2.19" in 2018. Since the heavy wet snow blocked my snow gauge, I have to question that stat. The peak wind gust was 41 mph and for barometer fans (me), it peaked at 30.60 and dipped to 29.44 (in the Village of Wellsville).
Folks in Wellsville most likely recall the snow storm that began the month with 10+ inches of heavy wet snow...leading to massive power outages.
The Wellsville Airport, which now serves as the 'official' recording station for most Buffalo media has slightly different numbers. No matter, March in Wellsville had a major winter storm, typical low temperature plunges and a hint of Spring.
