Italy - Weather in Rome, Feb-March?

Thinking of taking a trip to Rome around my birthday, which happens to be at the end of February.

We've been to Rome in September (hot!) and December (cool, but very pleasant). I have no idea what it's like there around the end of February and early March. I suspect the tourist crowds will be very down, but we'd still prefer not to have to wear heavy jackets and boots.

Still, we're coming from Western New York (think Buffalo :)) so how bad can it be?

Expect highs in the low to mid 50s, may even top out around 60. The Italians will still be dressed as if the ice age is sweeping through. Still gets chilly at night (high 30s).

I get that when I visit my kids in Florida in the winter. I'm running around in a tee shirt and the locals are wearing parkas.
