In Duluth, it was a bit incredible. Overnight, it did not get below 37F/3C and was a sunny 52F/11C before noon. This is unseasonably warm for Thanksgiving. However, at around 1 PM the wind began to change direction (from west to northwest) and gust to a maximum of about 30 mph and the temperature dropped precipitously. It began to rain around 4 PM, which quickly turned into snow. By around 6 PM some roads were treacherous and the snow was beginning to blow. The temperature then dropped into the 20's F and the snow continued. I would say four to six inches have accumulated by now (2:20 AM on Friday).
The forecast shows no temperatures above the 20's F, even for highs. The snow will remain, probably until March or April.
The same it always is. Sunny with a high around 80 low in the upper 60s. While that may sound great for this time of year I find it tremendously boring. Living in Hawaii definitely has it's downsides, the main things for me being the high cost of living, isolation for other land masses, and no variation in weather. While I don't think I'd like Minnesota's weather, having no variation month after month year after year gets boring. It's kind of like eating pizza (my favorite food) every meal. After a while you will be sick of it. On a positive note the food at my Thanksgiving party was pretty good.
Beautiful sunny day here in philly yesterday. Great Thanksgiving weather. Blue dome skies yesterday with a high of 58f. Low 38f. So far this month, despite being 3.4f below average, we haven't had one night go below 32f. Our lowest temp so far this month was a low of 32f on Nov 6th. Summer plants are still alive all over the city, since that temp was at the airport outside the city.
Temperatures much above normal, what else? Too warm to build a fire, but about right for wearing shorts and t-shirt in air that normally should be in the 30s. It's a new world out there.

How was it for you?
Now that was a perfect way to begin the holiday season. Sure, Thanksgiving was warm (which I wouldn't want), but the timing of a sudden change to colder weather and snow couldn't have been better. I don't think anyone on this board will be able to top that, at least in my mind.
Picture perfect in the Tri-State area, many NWS stations in NYC, Connecticut, and New Jersey hit 55 F to 58 F the day before and the day of Thansgiving. Sunny skies and light winds really gave a spring feel to the day.
It was a bit warmer than normal here in Portland, TX. The high reached into the lower 80s, after a morning low in the mid to upper 50s. Normally, it should be in the mid 70s with lows in the upper 50s.

I must say, you have a very appropriate screen name. I thought that Texas was going to bake and blow away a couple of summers ago. Have the lakes and streams recovered?
