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.

Neighbors and Friends Fight to Save the Twine Fields
 The Twine Field property, located at 25 and 25A Pond Road in North Truro, is a rare 10.2-acre upland meadow, rich in flora and fauna, once used by local fishermen to repair and tar their nets.
