The first part of March started off like a lion with Portland receiving 5.5" of snow with wind gusts over 35 mph.

The departing storm then brought in some of the coldest March air in quite some time with many records set at the Portland JetPort.
The afternoon of the 6th, the temperature only got to 18°, which is the coldest high temperature ever recorded on the 6th. The average daily temperature ((high-low)/2) was only 9° - another record.

On the morning of the 7th, the mercury dropped to a record -6°, breaking the old record of -3° set in 1989. The daily maximum temperature on the 7th was also18°, again a record for the day. The 7th's daily average temperature was a cold 6°, a broken record for the day which was also set in 1989.
The 8th of March continued to break records for cold. The high for the day was only 19°, the low 0° and the average temperature was only 10°.
After a three day stretch of record breaking cold, a very warm day gave a tease of the coming of Spring. On the 14th of March Portland made it up to 59°. That itself is not a record- but the low for the day was 41°- 1 degree warmer than the old record set in 1946. 

It was even warmer to the interior of Maine and New Hampshire. Concord, NH made it up to 74° on the 14th. Closer to home, Sanford hit 70°. An amazing swing in temperatures in just a few days. The warmth was short-lived as just two days later the cold was back.

Concord, NH set a daily record daily snowfall at 8.8" on the 16th. So from 74° to 8.8" of snow in two days.
Portland went from 59° to 7" of snow in those same two days. Bridgton went from 66° to over 10" of snow.
