Annual Central PA Thanksgiving Weather Roundup

UPDATE: It did, indeed, turn out to be the warmest 3 PM temperature in State College since 2005 -- 57 degrees!

As I have since 2005, I now present you with the Thanksgiving Weather report for State College, Pa. This year is forecast to feature the warmest afternoon temperature since 2005, at 54, both here in State College and in York, Pa., where I'll be on Thanksgiving Day.

But some things never change; the White Thanksgiving of 2005 holds the record for the coldest day, no matter what the measure. The "warmest" Thanksgiving by the numbers would be 2007, but that high occurred at midnight and the temperature fell during the day, ending up third coldest.

This 2012 Thanksgiving, things are fairly quiet nationally (perhaps the quietest since 2005), and I present this on our first "HD" Thanksgiving Weather Map (click to enlarge):
