Almanac, Nov. 30

For the only time on a November day in the period of record, the temperature hit single digits on this date in 1875.

The official Philadelphia low was 8, the highlight of a cold snap that featured readings more characteristic of the dead of a cold winter.

On subsequent days, the temperature fell to 11, 11 and 19 respectively.

While December got off to a frigid start that year, around the solstice three weeks later, the temperatures got up in into the 60s.
