CHICAGO WARM SNAP. The last 25 days in a row have all been Above Normal here in Chicago (ORD) with an anomaly of +11.7°. While I can't easily prove it - this is almost certainly the longest and biggest Temp anomaly on record. We are also likely to end up as the warmest winter on record - or at least in the top 3.

March 2012 O'Hare was 14.5ºF above normal for the entire month and the 25 days from March 6 to 30 the anomaly was +18.3º
There you go - I knew I couldn't prove it! :-)
Just the thought of the MAR 2012 heat wave would of given me great pause - though averaging +18º still seems fantastical in hindsight.
