Back in the 80’s we got 8 inches of snow on Thanksgiving Eve. In South Jersey so we really were not prepared for it. All the high school rivalry games got cancelled.
Back in the late 80s I remember driving up to ski at Sunday River in Maine because they got 2 feet on Thanksgiving Day.
The turkey day blizzard of 1971 took millions by surprise. It occurred nearly a month before the start of winter, and is still a Thanksgiving snowstorm for the record books in upstate New York state and adjacent locales.
Snow started falling on November 24, the day before Thanksgiving, and the flakes were still flying the next day. Albany, a city that’s no stranger to snow, got a whopping 22.5 inches. The National Weather Service still ranks the 1971 blizzard as the greatest November snowstorm on record for the Albany area.
And before that it had never snowed in Jersey in the previous 200 million years!

You can thank Global Warming for the milder weather since that time. :)
Several counties in East Tennessee canceled school today because (get this) it is WINDY. You have got to be kidding.
A conservative living in South Jersey...We’re going to have a blizzard! 😁
