    Thin conditions at Vermont ski area during record high northeast temperatures

    Toby Talbot / AP

    Skiers ride a lift over thinly-covered slopes at the Sugarbush Resort in Fayston, Vt. on Tuesday. Northern New England is experiencing some summerlike weather. Forecasters say the temperature should go past 70 degrees on Wednesday in Portland, Maine, smashing the old record by 10 degrees or more. And it'll be even warmer Thursday, moving toward the 80-degree mark.

    The Burlington Free Press reports record-breaking weather in Vermont:

    The temperature in Burlington hit 80 degrees Tuesday afternoon, shattering a record from 1903 of 70 degrees, according to National Weather Service data. Normally the temperature would be around 41.

    Meanwhile, the Cleveland Leader reports that weather this week is more typical of July than March:

    Tuesday high temperature was recorded at 83 degrees, the average high temperature for mid-July in Northeast Ohio. According to the National Weather Service, Cleveland Hopkins Airport has had 7 days in a row where the temperature has surpassed 70 degrees, which ties the record for most consecutive 70+ degree days which was set back in March 1945.

    Today's high is likely to be around 80 degrees, and Thursday is also likely to be in the upper 70s. Rain is due to move into the area on Friday, but even still, the temperature should easily climb over 70. Should this play out as expected, March 2012 will officially become the hottest month of March on record in Cleveland ever.

    Local and foreign visitors gather before the Kukulkan Pyramid during the celebration of the Spring Equinox in Chichen Itza, Mexico, March, 20 2012.

    EPA reports: Hundreds of people gather to observe the descent to earth of a serpent shaped with the shadow of one edge of the pyramid, during the beginning of the Spring equinox, that in ancient times is said to have indicated to Mayans the timing of the sowing season.

    St. Jude patient Zane Rimes, 5, giggles with delight as he is dipped upside down by family friend Judy St. Louis while exploring the Memphis Botanic Gardens in Memphis, Tenn. on the first day of spring.

    More than a typical spring day


    The day was special for five-year-old Zane Rimes not because it was the first day of spring but because he was not exhibiting symptoms of his leukemia, said his mother, Maranda. Zane has been getting treated at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis for more than a year, but today he was able to run, play and be a regular 5-year-old kid.

    Just a few weeks ago Europe was going through a bitter winter, which seemed to have no end in sight. Now, the first signs of spring are popping up with blooming crocuses, and there are still three weeks left before the official start of spring.

    We have experienced a mild winter so far in the New York City area, and while the lack of snow is a little disappointing, it does not keep me from eagerly anticipating the warmer weather.

    Are you looking forward to the spring? Still want more winter? Take a look at some of the best winter images this season in our slideshow:
