March weather forecast
Vermont, USA

March in Vermont signifies a transitional period, as the state begins to slowly shake off the intense cold of winter and welcomes the early hints of spring. This month is often unpredictable, with periods of cold still lingering, but also interspersed with days that give a hopeful nod to warmer times ahead.

Average temperatures in March start to show an incline. While nighttime lows remain chilly, often ranging from 15°F (-9.4°C) to 25°F (-3.9°C), daytime temperatures begin to rise, occasionally reaching the 40s°F. This shift, although subtle, is a clear indication of the changing seasons.

The snowfall in Vermont during March tends to decrease in frequency and intensity. However, the accumulated snow from the previous months means that snowpacks, especially in regions like the Green Mountains, remain substantial. These conditions make March still favorable for winter sports, especially in the earlier part of the month.

As the month progresses, Vermont witnesses an increase in rain, replacing the dominant snow as the primary form of precipitation. This shift is especially evident in areas such as the Connecticut River Valley, where milder conditions hasten the transition from snow to rain.

In comparison to February, March experiences longer daylight hours, with sunshine duration extending noticeably. This increased sunlight not only contributes to the melting of snow but also brings a rejuvenated energy to the state's landscapes.

While the Green Mountains and higher elevations hold onto their winter conditions a bit longer, regions at lower altitudes, particularly those in the south, begin to see the earliest buds and signs of spring's arrival by the end of the month.
