Record Temperatures in January

I'm back in Syracuse, NY for the holidays from December 17th to January 17th and I'm missing some record breaking weather apparently.  I decided today to check the temperature and saw it was 25 degrees..... above zero.  Yesterday, caused by a big storm moving up the west pacific coast, brought very warm weather to Alaska's interior.  Fairbanks had a high of 41 degrees yesterday while Syracuse's high was 42.  I didn't know this at the time but apparently December was very cold, even for Fairbanks.  The coldest December in 30 years actually.
December had a mean temperature of -18 degrees with an average daily high of -11 and a low of -41.
