What March feels like

The Philadelphia Flower Show fills the Convention Center in early March and is the largest of its kind anywhere, which is no accident: it exists precisely because March outside is grim. Snow still falls this month more often than people plan for, usually the wet heavy sort that takes down branches.

Winter is doing its thing: 3.6 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 12 nights dip below freezing.
