"The high temperature on Sunday was 5 degrees. This is 45 degrees below average. It would be like having a 45 degree high temperature in July, that's how unusual this was."
Quote from Gary Lezack, local NBC weatherman.

The overnight low was then minus -7 degrees below zero Fahrenheit; which was the LOWEST recorded March temperature EVER in Metro history!!!
Meteorological Spring for the Northern hemisphere, spring began on March 01, 2014. Give me a break already!!! It was so cold this morning that my husband had to hand shovel the driveway because his "toys" wouldn't start below zero to do the job.
