It was also the coldest day EVER for the entire month of March! It will be interesting to see if D.C newspapers bother to mention this.
4 Mar 2014 – The seemingly endless winter dumped a half a foot snow on parts of the South, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and sent temperatures plummeting into the single digits.
Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport broke a 141-year-old record low temperature, reaching 4 degrees. The National Weather Service said the low reached early Tuesday broke a 5-degree record set on the day in 1873.
It was also a record low for the month of March.
Dulles International Airport – also outside Washington – tied a 1993 record for the month at -1 degree.
Both airports broke record lows two days in a row.
Governors declared states of emergency in Virginia and Tennessee, where there were tens of thousands of power outages. Nearly 3,000 flights were canceled on Monday.
