How did that month rank overall 

Because you have to look at the whole and not just a few record days. 2010 was much warmer overall 

April 1976 was well above average in most of New England, and above average in New York, eastern PA, and NJ. This is still Boston's warmest April on record. Although, April 2010's warmth is much more widespread for the Eastern US.

41° and blowing pretty hard. I probably shouldn’t have taken any of the panels off the run yet…the chickens are getting buffeted. 

A couple cigarette butts flicked out of car windows and we could have a ditty day.

Yeah, 50 years ago was the Easter/Patriot weekend heatwave:

That was an incredible heat wave... It was also in the 90F range in Eastern 2010 (2012) weekend.

Heat in April has a bit of an advantage - which is quite counter intuitive, I'm sure.    It's because the soil moisture over the continental expanse is wholesale not yet a seasonal source in adding modulating water vapor to the atmosphere.   This latter aspect will help keep temperature side of the T vs TD from getting out of control on .. say June 20th. 

We're still going observe most heat post Apr/May than during ... but, the advent of the April or May heat, from the OV to upper MA/NE region, is really a separate phenomenon to either CC, or the "standard" warmth that spreads into those areas as we work deeper into summer.   

This is a nuanced aspect that will likely be conflated with other factors ... improperly... by those that are not aware that this is a valid phenomenon, due to water vapor challenged being timed well with a warm 850 layer type of synoptics.   

Maybe we could argue that sets up more frequently now?  no guess.  If we go all the way back over a 100 years, there's been these separate events.
