(On this snowy day) - According to the New Yorker: Since we've (no clue who they mean!) been keeping track (since the late 1800s), 8 of the 10 hottest years on record have occurred since 1996. 2005 is on track to be the hottest year on record.

Who's the "we"? Weather records at Fort Snelling begin in 1820. Sadly, there are some gaps, and the job of record was transferred off-post before the 20th century.
