What March feels like
Peak bloom usually falls in the last week of March, but it has come as early as mid-month and as late as mid-April, and the Park Service forecast is the only thing anybody watches. It can still snow on the Tidal Basin while the trees are out, which produces the photographs that go around the world every few years.
Winter is doing its thing: 2.0 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on maybe one day. about 8 nights dip below freezing.
