Here we are in March and snow flurries have been in the forecast nearly every day since mid-February. Sure here along the coast hasn't seen quite the chilliness of our inland neighbors, there is no doubt it has been chillier than average. The pattern according to the national weather service is going to continue for the foreseeable future. Will this nippy air hang out till past the Equinox and into "official" spring? Hard to say, but for now it seems it's here to stay.
Late arrival for spring is not uncommon in the Northwest, it is rather just annoying more than anything. But coastal activities and events tend to start happening next month so we certainly hope that April will bring some warmer temps for things like the Razor Clam festival and other exciting events that usher in the warmer and drier half of the year.
