September was the first month this year warmer than the same month last year, at Central Park. Of course that is not saying a lot as last year tied for the warmest year.
Actually that 60 year period had 17 winters with 40+ snowfalls. It was colder then but I believe it was also dryer so snowfall wasn't as high as you would think with the colder temps. I'm sure it stuck around a lot longer when it did snow.
