I'm sure you know what your talking about, because you live there. But just to be clear are you saying that you have only seen snow 1 time in the last 30years during winter? or that it has only snowed on Christmas day once in the last 30 years?
I lived in Scranton, PA from 1994 to 2000 and it snowed every winter I was there.
The decorations going up right after Thanksgiving fits in with the known time line. Thanksgiving is the 4th thur in November, and we know that Michael left the island on Day 67 - Saturday, November 27, 2004. So whatever the date is when we see Michael in Manhattan it has to be after Nov 27, 2004. At least by the islands timeline.

Here's the thing:
I just think that it is noticably odd that Michael's flashback takes place in Manhattan sometime around December and the weather doesn't seem to reflect this. I am not saying that it is not possible to have warm days in Manhattan during December, but I think this wouldn't be considered normal.
Productions crews with TV and movies deal with creating the right "look" for a scene. And to me if someone were to say "Ok we have a scene in Mahanttan that takes place in December." the first thing that comes to my mind is cold and snow.
