So 3 of the last 4 winters have hit 70+.  I guess this is the new normal?

Mild Denver in March style winters have become the new norm the last few years. Definitely a spring in the Rockies flavor to our recent winter climate

with warmth and snow coexisting.

BDR up to 64.    Longstanding record broken there! LOL.

The one that prevented the low to mid 70's here like they are getting further west.

It's more of a southerly flow than a sea breeze, if it was a sea breeze the temps would be in the 50's across the island, they are in the mid to high 60's. Once the southerly winds are over the warm ground for 3-4 miles, the air warms right back up.

Same difference. The winds are coming off an ocean that is only about 45 degrees south of Long Island. But the effect is more pronounced near the South Shore as usual where it's only 50.

Eh, not quite...sea breeze is caused when daytime heating causes low pressure over land and comparative high pressure over the ocean, resulting in onshore winds. So you have the heavier and denser maritime air sliding under the warmer air (inversion). Southerly flow is a bit different. 

Remember, we have had south winds all day. If this was a sea breeze, with a south wind the whole island would be in the 50s.

What do you think happened today? The whole island didn't t stay in the 50's today since the influence of the sea breeze is stronger closer to the ocean. Having south winds all day doesn't preclude a sea breeze. Notice how the winds increased today as the land began to heat and many highs were reached closer to noon before the cooling influence of the ocean kicked in.

This is a ridiculous argument. Your using IMBY. It never cracked 60 at my house in wantagh today. We warmed close to the rest of the island during the morning hours only to level off in the high 50s around noon and then fall. All the time with increasing onshore wind. Pretty much text book sea breeze pattern
