New England has seen pretty much the same patterns. We had two weeks of spring-like weather in the last half of March, when it is usually rainy, cold, and miserable. Then, in early April we got the yucky weather we usually get in March. It warmed up this past weekend for about four days, and Tuesday-Wednesday were like summer. Then late yesterday afternoon (Wednesday), a cold front swept through, and today it is only about 35, with a blustery cold wind (although it's sunny, which helps). Yesterday I went for a walk at lunch in a short-sleeved shirt, and by the time I went home, I wanted a sweater and a jacket--that's how fast it changed.
We're supposed to get drizzle/ rain/ yuck tomorrow, but the weekend is supposed to be better. Amazingly, the forecast for Easter Sunday is good--if we had a snowstorm, that would be the perfect joke to cap off what has been the longest, coldest, snowiest winter that I can remember for quite some time. Of course, if we had a snowstorm (or sleet or hail) Monday, when the Boston Marathon is running, that would be a perfect joke, too (tho' not, I suspect to the folks running the race).
There just doesn't seem to be any such thing as a happy medium any more.
