Is everyone forgetting that the on screen display there was generated by them? It's not like they filmed this with the normal input from NY1's systems. This TV 'broadcast' was staged, and very likely everything in it is quite intentional - like the time displayed.
You'll also notice that the pictures on 1-18-08.com (hmmm, there's a date) are all printed with the timestamp 1-18-08 (there's that date again) and the backs of some are inscribed by the partygoers in a fashion that doesn't say "Holy crap! We survived that monster attack, so let's go have a drink!" It's pretty safe to say the intent is for the events to actually be happening on January 18th, 2008. If they don't intend that to be the case, they've seriously radically hosed their own continuity in a way that'll be echoed in the annals of filmmaking forever.

Greetings all. Normally I like to stick to the sidelines and let the minds at work here handle the business, but on this topic I felt compelled to ante up.

I'm another here who can vouch for NYC normally being snow covered and chilly around the January time frame, but from a movie-making POV, don't you guys think it would look ridiculous to have our gigantasaurus rex thrashing about in the snow? Considering how entrenched the city normally is at this time of the year, I really think staying completely true to the real-life weather effects would take away from the allure of a monster ripping through Manhattan. On top of that, could you imagine hundreds of people running down the streets sliding on ice or hopping over snow drifts? Shear pandemonium.

My best guess is that JJ and team took a look at that and said, "Yeah, let's up the temp and blame it on global warming or something."

I still don't understand why anyone would have problems justifying that temp. I posted an article from this past January when it was 72 degrees. It does happen.
