In 1935 Suffocating dust storms occurred frequently in
southeastern Colorado between the 12th and the 25th of
the month. Six people died, and many livestock starved
or suffocated. Up to six feet of dust covered the
ground. Schools were closed, and many rural homes were
deserted by tenants.
In 1950 Timberline Lodge reported 246 inches of snow on the
ground, a record for the state of Oregon.
In 1956 The second heavy snowstorm in just three days hit
Boston. Nearby Blue Hill received 19.5 inches
contributing to their snowiest March of record.
In 1987 A storm in the western U.S. produced rain and snow from
the northern and central Pacific coast to the northern
and central Rockies. Heavier snowfall totals included
13 inches at Clear Creek UT, 12 inches at Snow Camp CA
and Glacier Park MT, and 10 inches at Kayenta AZ. Wind
gusts reached 54 mph at Winslow AZ.
In 1988 Seven cities in California and Nevada reported new
record high temperatures for the date as readings
soared into the 80s and lower 90s. Los Angeles CA
reported a record high of 89 degrees. Five cities in
south central Texas reported record lows, including
El Paso, with a reading of 22 degrees.
In 1989 Six cities reported new record low temperatures for the
date as cold arctic air settled into the Upper Midwest
for Palm Sunday, including Marquette MI with a reading
of 11 degrees below zero.
In 2003 (18th-20th) While a springlike storm was bringing severe
thunderstorms and tornadoes to the lower Mississippi
Valley, and along the Gulf Coast (tornadoes in Georgia
killed 6, and injured over 200)...a late winter storm
hit portions of Colorado and Wyoming with blizzard
conditions, and over 2 feet of snow in some areas. Both
Denver, CO and Cheyenne, WY were particularly hard hit.
