Reread what he posted. He didn't say the 19th was the snow he said that was when it reached 88

yup your right 

I'm wrong...I was going by memory...

Well I looked it up it was oct 10 a trace of snow for central park. A course suburbs got inches of snow....

since 1941 NYC has seen 88 degrees a few times...One as late as the 19th in 1979 after the earliest snowfall on record...The most 80 degree days in October is eight set in 1954...

1954...8

1963...7

1946...6

1990...6

1931...5

1949...5

1961...5

1968...5

1995...5

2007...5

The date of 19 October 1979 is incorrect. I believe its 9th or 10th of October 1979....
