This is great data - i didn't realize how much warmer relative to normal it was in New Jersey PA. I'm on that site now, but can only see basic stations (ISP, NYC, LGA). How do you get it to show the broader set of stations you're displaying?

I don't disagree with that. I think my expectations are appropriately low given the climate. We could also live in Boston.

I'm a longtime follower and infrequent poster who grew up on the South Shore but now lives in Huntington Station. I'm a little confused by the complaints about this spring. Maybe it's because I'm used to the relentless sea breezes on the South Shore, but this spring has been well above average in terms of temperature and overall weather. My ambient station, which is well-sited and typically runs highs somewhere between LGA and FRG, is showing an average high temperature of 57.3 from March 1 through today: 52.6 in March and 63.4 in April. That feels closer to a Central Jersey spring than a Long Island one. Even the data that @bluewave shared shows JFK/ISP at 55.5/54.3 average spring-to-date, versus normals of 52.7 and 51.9 with precip below normal.
