2010 confirmed as warmest year on record in Mass.

The unusually balmy start to 2011 yesterday seemed a fitting follow-up act to 2010, as final temperature data for the year confirmed that 2010 was the warmest on record in Massachusetts, according to the National Weather Service in Taunton.

The average temperature last year registered 53.8 degrees, breaking the previous record of 53.6 degrees, set in both 1949 and 1953.
