<< New Jersey Resources
(NYSE: NJR), today reported that weather in their service territory
for October, November and December averaged 15.6 percent colder than
normal and represented the third-coldest quarter in the past 20 years.>>


This must be a refugee from the BLS. The phrase 'averaged 15.6 percent colder' is about as meaningless as you can get. The same physical reality would give grossly different percentage results depending on the particular temperature scale used, i.e. F, C, K, or R.
