I have been at my location (about 1 mile from the beach) for 12 years…and only once had a low of – 2 F. In fact, in most years, I have lows that are above 10 F. My guess is that a lot of these temps that are being given are all subject to exposure issues. I really don’t trust temps recorded before even 1960. You know the stories about the old signal core (they used to record weather data in the early 1900’s). They were drunk half the time (lol).
Yes, I know when you look at the record lows on the OKX website for Bridgeport, they are almost as rare as NYC.

My point (which you elaborated quite well here) is that it seems to be rarer than in the past and I like your take on it as I somewhat question the "cold bias" of the past as well. For NYC I think it's majorly urban heat island and development over the past century, as a look at the "normals" (something I addressed earlier in this thread) show increasing lows but steady if not dropping highs, which is more an UHI signature than "global warming". But I've always thought something like what you say came into play too (if you go further into the OKX website, you see that "traces of snow" were rarely recorded until the 1920s.....lots more winter months with "0 snow" in the earlier years that were probably a trace).

From National Weather Service..

Like I said...So far with the current tracks Coastal fairfield and New Haven counties will get a mix of rain, sleet and snow but snow accumulations will still be high.. Anyplace more than 75 miles from the coast will get a ton of snow.

National Weather Service Text Product Display

EXPECT SNOW TO MOVE IN LATER TUESDAY...WITH WINTRY MIX COAST AND MORE SNOW INTERIOR LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY IF FORECAST TRACK VERIFIES.

ANOTHER WEAKER TROUGH PIVOTS BEHIND THIS CLOSED UPPER LOW. THIS
TROUGH COULD TRIGGER A FEW SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY.

AS FOR TEMPS...INITIAL ARCTIC AIR WILL MODERATE THROUGH MID
WEEK...THEN COLDER AIR IS USHERED BACK IN BEHIND THIS DEPARTING
SYSTEM.

Moderate meaning 20's and lower 30s by end of next week.

All I've seen forecast for next Tuesday/Wednesday is snow or a mix. No accumulation predictions so far. I am really hoping it comes to nothing, I have totally had it with this winter.

From Day 6-10 its about whether or not theres a potential for a storm..
Day 4-6 Its about tracking and moisture content
Day 0-3 Its about amount of precip once track is determined.
Day 0 - Watching the actual weather above us and not the models

We're 4 days away. Right now only one can say the "potential" per model run..One model has 3 inches of rain, another model has 2 feet of snow. One model has 6 inches of snow after 1 inch of rain. 1 model has nothing at all. lol

Right now we all know the potential is there for something massive.
