March in Truro...
In March we pick up 78 minutes of additional daylight, enough to bring temperatures up about 5 degrees from February. Daylight Saving Time arrives Sunday, March 12.
Longer days and the sun's higher arc in the sky should generate 10% more power from our solar panels.
According to past records, we are told to expect an average temperature to 36°F, with average lows of 29°F and highs of 44°F. We traditionally get an average total of 3 inches of rain and 8 inches of snow.
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.
