Scott is right on! March is wonderful in SoCal, but you've got to be ready 
for cold and maybe snow at higher elevations...

Your message posted to all as far as I can see.

As for Section A in March, it could be fine but cold, or it could be snowy
on Mt. Laguna and beyond  Keep a sharp look out on the weather.  The year I
hiked we had our first desert snow while in the San Felipe Hills just
before Warner Springs.  Cactus blossoms half buried in the snow was
spectacular!  Maybe 3 or 4 inches on the ground and a very quiet night as
it built up on our tents and tarps, but not a problem to hike through.
Just be prepared for winter or spring weather and watch the forecast.
There's now way to really tell this early.

Good luck on a wonder section.
