Could it have something to do with El Nino? From what I can tell, it does seem to make things warmer in our neck of the woods when El Nino's active.
But surely the big G-Dub (global warming of course) is only compounding things.
There is a correlation between the El Nino effect and higher ocean temperatures.
Since El Nino is roughly the 'cold current that didn't happen' (off the coast of Peru, you can see how ocean temperature can affect it.
my dad, who lives in iowa, told me they only had about an inch of snow so far this winter, with recent temps in the 50's and low 60's. he said as he was working in the yard the other day he saw a flock birds flying north.
denver on the other hand is completely buried in snow. i have read that with global warming, precipitation will become more intense and localized, leaving some areas with too much, and other areas with too little.
El Nino is certainly correlated with higher temps, but we are daily breaking records or "firsts" in NYC. The two issues must compound each other.
