Warm Winter Weather Not Likely to Last

Just how warm was January?

_Warmest on record in Oklahoma, South Dakota, Green Bay, Wis., Kansas City, Mo., Riverton, Wyo., and Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Neb. It barely missed tying the record for Iowa.

_Second-warmest in Arkansas (tied with January 1933), Maine and in Milwaukee, Wis.

_Third-warmest in Memphis, Tenn., and Detroit.

_Fourth-warmest in New York's Central Park (tied with January 1913), in Greensboro, N.C., and Louisville, Ky.

_Eighth-warmest in Denver, and the warmest since 1986.

_10th warmest in Baltimore.

_Warmest since 1950 in Buffalo, N.Y., and Nashville, Tenn.

_12th-warmest in New Mexico.

Minneapolis and St. Paul had the warmest January in 160 years. Ice sculptures at the St. Paul Winter Carnival melted and broke up nearly as quickly as they were carved, and several big ice-fishing contests in Minnesota were canceled or moved because of thin ice.
