The forecast was looking nice and cool and then... 96 F on Wednesday. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I have school that day in a building without AC!
60°F morning is about impossible here in the winter. And probably so in Connecticut. Warmest minimum (excluding early December which isn't really winter here) was 40°F. 2nd warmest 33°F.
48°F was the warmest for New York City.
NYC warmest this past winter was January 7th and February 1st at 62F degrees. And 74F degrees March 14th if you consider that still winter (which technically it is)
Bridgeport, CT hit 60 a few times this past winter..Not that uncommon at all though.
Feb 1st: 62
Feb 23rd: 60
March 8: 61
March 12: 65
March 13: 63
March 14: 70
Lots of 50s in December and couple in January this past year

I'm talking about mornings, not daily minimums. Typically the warmest of winter mornings are followed by cooler temperatures in the afternoon or evening. While 60F mornings may be pretty much impossible in Western Mass. they certainly do occur in the Mid-Atlantic and I think NYC, especially early in December. Early December should count, and it's not as if shifting the window later helps much. Though I admit warm mornings like that are not common.
I looked at Philadelphia's history, and February 1 of this year proves my point, staying above 50F all morning in the middle of "winter", and when the average high in the afternoon is in the 40's. December 6, 2011 was extremely warm as well, just barely below 60F for the morning temperature. Even in the so-called brutal winter of 2011 February 18th featured a very warm morning that never was below 50F. Even January 2 of the same winter, before the pattern change towards warmth, featured a 50F+ morning. December 1st, 2010 featured another very warm morning close to 60F.
Ok Northeast folks, its inevitable. All models agree on the heat now. Not sure if its considered a "heat wave" since you need 3 days of intense heat but its going to be H.O.T!! Wednesday & Thursday.

That's how a wet week would be in my dream climate's July. Love these differing perspectives

I looked at the forecast and it isn't that bad. In fact the 9/19C day would be considered garden variety weather in my dream climate, though overall it's quite a bit warmer than typical weather in my climate (mostly at night though; a warm week would have similar daytime highs). At any rate it looks a lot better than the Northeastern U.S., and I also love the differing perspectives.
