Thanksgiving Weather 2005-2011
As I have for the last few years, I'll take a look back at past Thanksgivings here in State College, Pennsylvania, home of AccuWeather HQ [Google Map]. Here's a summary of State College weather* since I've been blogging for AccuWeather.com, plus national weather maps when available:
Thanksgiving 2005-2011 Graph
Clearly, the White Thanksgiving of 2005 holds the record for the coldest day, no matter what the measure. Warmest Thanksgiving would be 2007, but that high occurred at midnight and the temperature fell during the day, ending up third coldest. This year featured nearly normal temperatures (36/49) and partly cloudy skies. This is the first year I was out of town, spending the holiday in York, PA, where it was colder in the morning (28) but warmer in the afternoon (58).
