I suspect our bodies react differently to temperatures, your comments about biking in warm weather don't match my experience at all.
I know wasnt a reply to me just wanted to comment. I think we're both similar with being active, maybe you more then me? Then again I do physical activity for work and always chopping wood, but I think our tolerances are so different.
Between, wind, cold, warm, dry, humid. I might almost say we prefer total opposite when exercising or even enjoying outdoors?.
Anyways, at 1pm it is 9F in Islip right now. The record low maximum there for Feb is 17F. Will it be broken? Smashed maybe??
Edit: 11F at 2pm
So, the high was 13F.
If that can hold till midnight, then this would be the coldest high temp since January 1994, and the fourth-coldest high since the POR in 1984. So, it was more impressive than the 0F low this morning which is only seventh-coldest all time.
For reference, the coldest high was 6F on Jan 21st, 1985, during THAT cold wave.
Also, it's only 9pm and it's -7F in Westhampton right now. Dropped 15 degrees in the past 3 hours. Holy ****. The all-time record low there is -15F, perhaps something to watch for tonight. Radiative cooling FTW!!! http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KFOK.html
Congratulations everyone in the northeast who say extreme cold. This morning's low of 15 F was tied for the 66th coldest February low since 1950, so nothing impressive at all. Unfortunately, today's high was 32 F. I was hoping for a high below freezing, but it looks like the coldest we can get is highs at freezing this winter.
It might snow tonight, but the HRRR is showing it mostly move to the north.
This has, to put it "mildly" been a strange winter:
A Super El Niño
A record one-day snowfall for New York City;
First subzero weather in Central Park since January 1994.
Interestingly, the low at Central Park was -1F. For all the people that said that Central Park would never pierce 0F (last such date was in 1994):
Wonder why Farmingdale was 5°F warmer than Centerport. And warmer than Islip. Farmingdale's away from the water so I'd expect it to be colder than Islip.

My ideal for being active isn't that hot, but I'm usually fine with warmer than that. Low 60s is the best for bicycling IMO, while mid 50s the best for strenuous hiking. I still like the feel of moderate warmth, and just don't really hate hot weather though I'll try to avoid being active in it.
Cold weather can be ok for hiking if not too extreme, but for everything else day to day I'd rather it not be cold.

Winds picked up slightly which is bad for radiative cooling, so temps have begun to increase in many of the LI stations (KFOK, KHWV, KISP). They might calm down again though.
Toronto went down to -15F yesterday. That would shatter records here. I don't know how in the world people can claim we have the same climate as Toronto. They really are far colder in winter.
