Thu Feb 21, 5:54 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The last three months were the warmest on U.S. record books, and January was the balmiest in the 123 years temperatures for the month have been recorded globally, government scientists said on Thursday.
A preliminary average of the nation's temperature measured from November 2001 to January 2002 was 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit above average temperatures gathered between 1895 and 2001, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the government's climate study arm. The same monthly period in 1999-2000 held the previous record, NOAA said.

Today was the second day in a row we haven't gone below freezing at any time. Lots of fog and gloom, though.
