(With the off-topic board gone - or going- I'm going to post this monthly feature here for want of a better place. It may not be sport but it is statistics.)

Here are the actual high temperatures in Syracuse for each day in 2018 compared to the average high, (based on stats that go back to 1901) and the difference that day, + or – as well as a running deficit or surfeit. Here is the website I used for these numbers:

The numbers are the date, the actual high, the historical average high, the net difference, the cumulative net since January 1st, the numbers of days we exceeded the historical average, the number of days we didn't reach it and the number of days we tied it.

Comments: After a slow start, February turned out to be positively balmy. The 75 degrees we got on the 21st was an all-time record and the earliest we’ve had such a temperature in the 4+ years I’ve been keeping track of this, (the others were twice on 4/13. 3/9 and 4/10).

Past Februaries:
2014: -140 degrees 7-21-0 days
2015: -431 (0-27-1) We were glad when that month ended.  
2016: +57 (16-12-1)
2017: +205 (16-11-1)
2018: +201 (19-8-1)

2018 by moth:
January -3 (15-15-1)
February +201 (19-8-1)
