What March feels like

Denver's heaviest storms come in March and they are wet, heavy, and gone inside two days: the plows work overnight and the sidewalks steam by lunch. Nobody puts the shovel away until Mother's Day, which tells you the shape of spring around here.

Winter is doing its thing: 8.8 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 5 days. about 23 nights dip below freezing.
