Your usual Thanksgiving Day weather

5 years ago

Alabama, we generally are in the low 60's upper 50's. Nice weather.

When having Thanksgiving at my parents, we'd rake leaves and let the little ones play in the leaves.

In high school, one year, attending high school football playoffs, it was hot Thanksgiving Day and the next day it snowed. Weird.

In the past it was normal to have a snow or ice storm sometime during this holiday weekend. Right now it is forecast to be in the 50s and sunny but then the snow and sleet that I saw today was not forecast.

We’ve had the gamut over the decades, from skating on the frozen lake (which means it’s been really cold for a good week or more) to walking after the feast with just a sweater.

Day After Thanksgiving Shopping
Q
Comments (10)
I am a merchandiser for 3 companies & Wal-Mart is one of the stores I work in. The vendors have to be through by 5 a.m. - meaning some of them will be in at 3 a.m. or be off that day - or wait until after 3 or 4 p.m. Today, the day before Thanksgiving, has been crowded & tomorrow until about 11 will be as crowded. Workers & customers constantly getting in each other's way. Whew!!!! And, I'll have to go "pull up" a couple of more times today! I made the mistake of going to the day after sale & never again! First, you have to park 10 miles from the store. Then you get all the way to the door & find out that everyone's already taken all the shopping carts. Then, you have to inch around shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. When I went, I was buying 3 boys' bikes & a smaller girls' bike. They were in boxes & I liked to not have gotten them in my cart - so good luck finding someone to help you. Then, I had to fight through the crowds again to the cash registers, where I stood in line for an hour. Then, getting them through the parking lot - keep in mind people are constantly backing up & moving - & into the car. Again, never again! Last year, I made the mistake of having to go in for toilet paper or something - one item - & it took forever because of the long lines at the check outs (why don't they ever have all the registers going? is it just me?).

Happy Thanksgiving day also to all Canadian Garden Web members and happy Columbus Day to our American friends. We will be having Thanksgiving on Monday at my daughters. My son-in-law, the chef, likes to put on dinner parties, so it will be quite a feed. I am spending the rest of the weekend cleaning up my garden and getting ready for winter. The forcast says we are supposed to get sn** next weekend. I hope not. Cheers Al

Good Harvest and Happy Thanksgiving to our nieghbors up north! I love Thanksgiving here down in Texas. We usually find a couple of ex-pats from other countries (the DH used to work for and international company), and give them American holiday experience. A good time is had by all. It makes more sense than trying to cook a feast for 3 people, LOL.

I cooked dinner for 11 people, and we had a sit down meal. DH has to bring another table in to do that, and it crowds the living room, but prefer a sit down meal. Two people were missing from our table this year... DD and her b/f broke up and my SIL passed away in May. From now on, I guess I'll be the one cooking the meal, but I love doing it. DH usually helps out quite a bit, but this year he was away in the day time. He did all the dishes, though. Here is my pastry recipe that I use for butter tarts (I cut them out with a glass) and the butter tart filling recipe as well. With pastry, the technique is just as important as the recipe: Double Crust Pastry: Put approx 1/3 cup of softened butter in a 1 cup measuring cup. Add shortening to fill, mix well, and refrigerate until chilled. Chill approx ÃÂ¼ cut of water, add a splash of vinegar and chill. When chilled, add 1 egg and beat into chilled water. In deep bowl, mix 2 cups of unbleached flour, a dash of salt and some icing sugar. Cut in shortening/flour mixture with pastry blender. Cut in until shortening is in pieces about the size of peas. Add enough of the water/egg mixture to just hold together. Roll out pastry and cut with a cutter or a glass to get the right size shells for your tart pan (you can use a muffin pan). Butter Tarts 1 cup raisins 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg, well beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla Pour boiling water over raisins. Let stand 10 minutes. Drain, add remaining ingredients. Stir together well. Add mixture into unbaked pastry shells and bake at 375ÃÂ° for approximately 15 to 18 minutes. I make my own pastry, and I usually freeze the tarts before bakingÃ¢ÂÂ¦ they donÃ¢ÂÂt seem to boil over that way. In fact, I chill the filling before I put it in the shells, as you don't want to melt the fat in your pastry. Makes about 24 tarts.

We don't have a "usual". Some years there's a foot of snow on the ground, others it's sunny and shirt sleeve weather. This year the forecast is for rain and temps in the 40's.

We are also in the low to mid 60s by day and in the mid forties in the middle the night.

Thanksgiving Day this year will be in those temps and sunny according to the forecast.

Where we wear a jacket and flip flops in the same outfit and neither is wrong.

Ha-ha!

I did the same through the first week of November this year. I am still seeing younger people wearing shorts.

Anywhere from shirt-sleeve weather to several inches of snow. This year,

it's supposed to be in the 50's and no rain or snow. But, today it is in the 30s

and blowing snow turning to rain. We are in the "if you don't like the

weather, wait a minute and we'll get you something different" area.

The weather for the turkey is always very hot. For the humans it is usually in the 40s or 50s here on turkey day.

Usual T'Day weather here is chilly, grey and wet...........November tends to be our rainiest month of the year. Forecast is for not much, if any, rain this year, but chilly and grey it will be!

But it can be pretty blustery as well as that rain is usually triggered by Pacific storms moving on land. There have been any number of Thanksgiving dinners I can recall that have been disrupted by power outages.

Chicagoland can be nice, but is more likely grey skies, and sometimes snow -- just a few flakes, like today, or an unpredicted blizzard. I remember guests deciding to stay overnight in the fifties rather than creep and crawl thirty miles to their homes.
