Yep, still convinced it was a good idea to break up with winter

NOAA NCDC national temperatures 2015-Q1

From the National Climatic Data Center's "State of the Climate" summary for the first quarter of this year:

New York and Vermont were both record cold for the year-to-date. The New York year-to-date temperature was 16.9°F, 6.8°F below average, dropping below the previous record of 17.4°F set in 1912. The Vermont January-March temperature was 13.3°F, 6.4°F below average, tying the same period in 1923.

The contiguous United State as a whole, though, was atypically warm. NCDC reports that the average temperature for March was 2 degrees above the 20th century average, and nationally it was the 24th warmest January-March on record.
