It's so interesting that Newark's 2nd and 4th lowest temperatures on record are from the 80s-- and it's so close to Manhattan so why was there such a big disparity from Central Park on those nights?
Can you pull up Philly too-- didn't they hit -10 during the 80s, Chris?
Too bad we don't have Newark data from the 1917-18 winter, it would be interesting to find out what they bottomed out at in that historically cold winter.
