one should be cautious in jumping to conclusions without a broader analysis of the temperature
records. With only a short search, I found this statement on the weather site: Accuweather.com
" New York City normally experiences a high of 38° on January 6; on Saturday, the temperature peaked at 72 degrees, shattering the previous daily record high of 63° from 1950 and tying the all-time high temperature from the month of January, last set on January 26, 1950. "
... and looking forward and
backward in the historical temperature records for this week, you can quickly find several days with
high temperatures in the high 60's for NYCity.
