What a difference a year makes

Probably the worst part of Monday’s snowstorm is knowing that it was 63 degrees on this date last year. The Iron Mountain area experienced a wild ride in temperatures last March. After bottoming out at minus 10 on the night of March 5, Iron Mountain climbed to a high of 82 by March 21, as a warm spell and early spring took hold. Following a high of 27 degrees on March 9, 2012, Iron Mountain jumped nearly 30 degrees the next day (54) and temps only climbed from there:
