I think the analysis is a little melodramatic, but he is onto something about that El Nino. It was scary warm that December and something seems to have snapped. Since then, extreme warmth at several points in the winter is the new normal. When was the last time we had a prolonged stretch with snow on the ground? Our snow has become like Denver...a dump and a rapid melt. Historically, that hasnt been the case in NYC. We shall see if this pattern sticks, but the warmth wont let up. Even our cool months like this fall are still AN

Amazing that just N and W of Manhattan has a much smaller departure from normal than Central LI. I wonder if that holds going forward towards winter

The smoke (or high clouds) never allowed it to get as warm as predicted. Happened about 2 PM. That said, quite mild at 8pm
