Record-warm March after an unusually dry and snow-poor winter has pushed nationwide snow amounts to unprecedentedly low levels.
Snowmelt is occurring more than a month earlier than usual. Normally, these snow depths would be present around May Day.

Incredibly warm March after such a cold Jan-Feb.
The month will go down in history as the first March in Finland with nationwide mean temperature above freezing (0 °C).
Practically all weather stations will set new March mean temperature record, except those located further out in the Baltic Sea.
