Two days after a respectable 4.5 inches of snow fell in Philadelphia, the temperature fell to 15, a record for the date on this date in 1927.
It marked the fifth consecutive day that official readings had fallen into the teens.
An early spell of winter, however, doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
That December snow missed by a mere tenth of an inch of being the biggest of the winter of 1926-27, which was mostly snow-less.
