Lamb and Lion – Reversed

March is supposed to come in like a lion and out like a lamb. I remember commenting on March 1 how lovely it was – how lamb like. How strange. Now things have changed.

The graph below plots the temperature and windchill from Meriden Markham Airport, not far from where I live.

Take a look at the slope of the plot. It sure doesn’t look like it’s warming to me! Of course, over the short term, weather is – well, it’s weather, it’s changeable. This trend shouldn’t show up when we look at seasonal numbers.

If it does, Mother Nature will have some explaining to do.
