What March feels like
The Iditarod ceremonial start runs down Fourth Avenue on the first Saturday, with snow trucked in if the city hasn't provided any. This is the month locals call the best of winter — the light is back, the trails are still fast, and the cold has lost its edge.
Winter is doing its thing: 11.0 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 6 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
