Made it up to 76 F today, with dew points in the 50s all day. I guess since the ocean is colder now than in November/December, easterly winds don't necessarily bring warm and humid conditions this time of year.

It seems these days you would get far colder winters in parts of the northern US at lower latitudes than the Baltic region of Europe.

Not necessarily. The main reason it's cooler and drier than it was then is just what you'd expect, that being a cooler and drier airmass in place. I'm honestly surprised it got up to 76F where you are seeing at it topped out at just 72F here. Here's the GFS model output for 18z (6pm) today. These are temps, winds, and pressure at 2500'

This morning was very chilly, afternoon felt about normal for winter, clouded over. Think we're getting some snow flurries overnight then a mild weekend.

Got up to 78F today here. At least it hasn't reached 80F yet.

76F forecast for tomorrow and Sunday, but then 60's forecast for next week. Early next week looks wet with t'storms possible, but nothing severe expected.

Well, the averages are colder in the Upper Midwest.

Not really looking forward to those temperatures. Our high temperature forecast is 59 today. A sunny 59. I say that's springlike enough. No need for it to be any warmer.
