Yep. There's a huge difference between Boston and coastal Mass and the interior Massachusetts. The growing season is longer, and I had friends in Boston who'd complain about cold nights that we would get regularly. Going 5, maybe 10 miles and the ocean influence dies off. The ocean influence has a downside, too. In the spring time the ocean stays very cold, and there some days Boston is windy and in the 50s while it is warm and sunny (around 70) inland.

Didn’t know you were from the Island. Yes, big difference in cold temps from Long Island too New England. Still, that is impressive for Boston to go that long with no frost.
As far as what lies ahead – still no change in the mid range: The newest models as of yesterday, show an even warmer pattern for much of the northern USA outside of the far northwestern Mt states. It should remain warm through mid/late December at least. Really, only western Canada will be below normal in North America in the next month or so from what they are saying. However, if this pattern develops more, January and Feb could stay quite mild in much of the northern states as well. Here is the forecast:
