no way can you class march as a winter month....march has only managed to have a colder cet than feb once in the last 40 yrs..even taking into account we have had some very mild febs in the last twenty of those years...and there have been many occurances of 70f plus days being recorded with frequency in march too...the fact that the number of cold marchs has dimished quite markedly in the last two decades...confirming its position as a spring month!
