It was warm enough to wear shorts on the Sunday of this Thanksgiving long weekend. If weather reports are to believed, it was about 22 degrees Celsius on Sunday afternoon. I was outside on that day and I wore shorts and in the direct sun, it was warm enough to make me sweat. I could tell people did not expect it to be that warm because I saw many people holding onto their jackets or wearing their jackets wrapped around their waist.
In the years past, I’ve written about the relatively new phenomenon of wearing shorts for your Thanksgiving dinner and having the meal out on your patio or deck. If you had your family meal on Sunday, that was definitely possible this Thanksgiving. While on my Sunday walk a couple older folk were remarking how warm it was for a mid-October afternoon and how wonderful it was. In the moment, sure it’s great but I’m thinking the reason why it’s hot in October is the same reason why we just saw the extreme weather in Florida and North Carolina recently.
Anyways, the crazy thing is, in a month, it’s quite possible the temperatures will have dropped enough for snow to fall.
