Well, to be utterly fair the temperatures in Baltimore and Washington aren't outside the historical variation. Since regular records began in 1883 there've been nine other such times when the warm weather hung around until sometime in January or February.
The true evidence for things being seriously out of whack is further north, up in northern Canada. That's where temperatures are significantly above any known historic values.
