America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-Year Rise
The more things change, the more things stay the same. Seems as if the New York Times ran articles which, with a little help from a word-processor, could run now. This was the headline article in the New York Times, March 27, 1933

To quote Pete Seeger, who doubtless would have disagreed with me on this issue "when will we ever learn"? Apparently not until some more economic vandalism.NY Times - 3-27-1933 said:On the charts, a red line has been steadily rising since 1908, tracing the course of the longest warm spell America has enjoyed since the War of the Revolution. Weather Bureau experts are eyeing the red line closely this Spring, wondering whether it will keep on going up, or whether it has passed the peak and will now head downhill. The Winter of 1931-32 was the warmest in more than 100 years in that part of the country east of the Rocky Mountains.
*********************************************
The red temperature line on the long-time weather charts, going back 150 years, rises three times above the straight line that represents the long-time normal, and dips below It twice.

Trends for the Winter season are most irregular, with some cold spells to interrupt the general tendency toward ''green Christmases'' and smaller fuel bills.
