>thanksgiving was like a nice late september day.

According to weather underground, the high temp on Thanksgiving was about 1 degree above average and the low was 2 degrees above average

.. Which is about 20 degrees below the average for a late September day

Edit: didn't realize that the calendar view moved to a central jersey location. For phl it was about 4 degrees above average on Thanksgiving and within 1 degree of the low.

yeah i mean looking at the data is the most accurate way to do it. maybe i was just skinnier as a kid and everything felt colder?

I think it's just hard to judge between seasonal changes based on feeling because we acclimate to it. Those first few mid fifties days of the year always feel freezing but by the end of February , hovering around low-mid 40 feels pretty moderate

yeah probably. also, maybe we're just telling our generations version of "walked both ways to school in the snow"
