When it comes to U.S. weather, March is a **toriously fickle month. But even by March's capricious standards, the cold and s**wy weather so far has been unusual, and when compared to the scorchingly hot March of 2012, it's difficult to remember that this is even the same calendar month.
Two years ago at this time, the U.S. was experiencing one of its most unusual heat waves (http://www.climatecentral.org/blogs/march-heat-wave-shatters-monthly-records) on record, as temperatures soared to summer-like levels all the way to the Canadian border, and remained stuck there for weeks

Fast forward to today, and the lower 48 states east of the Colorado Rockies are dealing with unusually cold and s**wy weather, with temperatures more typical of January than March. New York City was struggling to reach the freezing mark on Monday, after a s**wstorm missed the city by hitting areas to the south, which is **t a typical development for this time of year. Washington, D.C. picked up 7.2 inches of s**w on Sunday into Monday, which was its third-largest s**wstorm (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/03/17/over-7-inches-officially-in-d-c-third-biggest-s**wstorm-so-late-in-season-on-record/) on record for so late in the season.
