Given the overall urbanization and increase in the heat dome in the Greater NY / NJ area over the last 80 years...the 19.9 F in 1934 is no more impressive than the current 23.7 F here in 2015. That 1934 record was heavily abetted by a night when it fell to -15 F...which was a unique circumstance that probably could not be replicated today.

Remember also that February 1934 was during a depression and before suburbanization to the north of the city. I bet, though, that if we replicaterd meteorolical conditions for February 9, 1934 we'd hit -9 or -10.

Avg. at CPK now 23.7degs. or -11.0 for month to date.   Last week of month should average near 22-23degs. itself.   We should end month at 23.0-24.0 and in second or third place since 1869.

Even going back to 1822(Governor's Island, Coast Guard records) there are just 6 other Februarys that rival this Feb.

The stats that Uncle provided shows that anything under 25 degrees is even impressive for the early

to middle 1800's in NYC.

thanks, multiple mornings of single digits with below zero north and west. unreal for the last week in february

 

The models drop NYC below 10 before midnight Monday evening so that would add another 2

single digit low readings for NYC.

 

Most February single digit lows in NYC

 

12...1875

10...1934

8.....1979

6.....1917, 1914, 1881

5.....2015..so far
