March is supposed to be easing us into spring, but Mentor, KS and Washington, UT shattered that idea — hitting 94° and 93° respectively, obliterating records that had stood since 1976 and 1895. Meanwhile, the Denver suburbs of Thornton, Broomfield, and Westminster are wrapping up the warmest March start ever recorded, averaging a 70° high through the 25th.
