Unusually Warm March Sets Bluefield Record Pace
Bluefield posted the warmest March on record with a 56.7 degree average, topping 2007’s 52 degree mark. Temperatures reached into the 70s and even 80s on several days, with no snowfall. Officials attribute the mild winter to a northern jet stream, while nationwide data show widespread above normal readings. The forecast calls for continued warmth ahead, though brief cool spells and patchy frost are possible early next week. The Greater Bluefield Chamber plans an early lemonade promotion in anticipation of a hot summer, with optimism about grow times for lemons and sugar cane.
