Seems like the western part of North America has been fairly crappy for the past month. Here in Portland we've had a grand total of 6 days at or above normal temperatures in March -- the rest, well below. We're supposed to be in the 15-18 degree range for highs currently and yet 6 out of the next ten days are set to be 7-9 with rain. Actually woke up to an inch of snow Saturday which is highly unusual this late in the year.
My biggest peeve is this will probably shorten an already short mountain hiking season. Some years, I can hit some of the low-mid elevation stuff (3000-5000ft) in early May but if we don't get a good warm stretch sometime soon, it may end up being like last year where I had to wait till mid June until most of the snow had melted
