Spring Equinox Climatology for Eastern Utah and Western Colorado

Let's take a look at some "Spring Spouts" (aka Spring Equinox Climatology) for selected cities across eastern Utah and western Colorado. The Equinox of 1923 must have felt more like winter than spring for the Meeker and Moab areas, where they received 7 and 3 inches of snow respectively. The lowest minimum temperature on the Spring Equinox thus far was -13F, which occurred in the Craig Area in 1955. The warmest Spring Equinox temperature was 85F, which occurred in the Moab Area in 2004. The wettest and snowiest Spring Equinox both occurred in the Durango Area. The wettest was in 1919, where 1.28 inches of liquid precipitation fell, and the snowiest was in 2023 when the area received up to 14 inches of snow.
