2016 was hot
This graph is from the NWS Albany office -- it shows the daily average temperatures across 2016 compared to the record temperatures (high and low) for each day.
Because 2016: This past calendar year was the 6th warmest on record in Albany, according to the National Weather Service Albany office.
The average temperature here was 51.1 degrees -- 2.8 degrees warmer than the 30-year "normal" annual average (1981-2010). In this case, "on record" means dating back to 1820.
This past meteorological winter -- that is the period from December 2015 to February 2016 -- was the warmest, least snowy on record.
The warmest year on record was 2012, at 51.6 degrees.
