This was the last warm day of an amazingly wintry Thanksgiving week back in 1989.
After reaching 62 on Monday, Nov. 21, the official temperature at Philadelphia International Airport fell to 27.
On the 22nd, snow began in the early evening and continued into the early-morning hours. By Thanksgiving morning, 4.6 inches had accumulated, and the temperature failed to get above freezing that day.
What followed was one of the coldest Decembers ever, followed by an extremely mild January and February.
