Lamb or Lion March 2019?

It's near the end of February, time to look ahead to March weather - will it be a Lion or Lamb month? Last year at this time we were experiencing balmy conditions, many days in the sixties and little, if any precipitation. Overall, it seemed like winter skipped us. Not this year - yes, I'm smiling as I write this. Here are the stats from NOAA -

• For the Denver area so far this year (Feb. 25) we've had 1.46 inches of precipitation, normal is .71. Exact totals vary depending on what part of the Front Range you reside.
• Our temperature averages should be around thirty-four degrees. Since January 1, we're averaging twenty degrees, so below normal temperatures. 
• In case you're wondering, our wettest March since 1872 happened in 1983 with 4.56 inches. The driest March was 2012 with only 0.03 inches. The warmest March was in 1910, averaging 50.4 degrees. The coldest was in 1912 averaging 26.4 degrees. 

Some may say we're having an exceptionally snowy, cold winter which is easy to conclude since we haven't experienced one for a couple of years. I say the snowier the better from now until spring. And it can rain like cats and dogs in April. You may recall the rainy 2015 we had which mostly occurred in May and June - not great timing for getting the garden planted. In our dry climate, it's simply not possible to complain about getting too much moisture - ever.
