2. Lately...Cold, dry, leaves off the trees...
Once in while we get November snow, but not lately, iirc.

4. Your guess is as good as mine
Weather up here is notoriously unpredictable. In general, though, it's pretty cold in late November, highs in the low to mid 40s, dipping below freezing at night. Snow isn't uncommon at that time of year.

5. Where in New England?
In my old haunts of southern Conn. it rarely snows before Christmas. Might sleet, though... generally (just) above freezing. Meanwhile, northern Vt. and N.H. and most of Maine may indeed be cold and snowy.

8. "Where?" is a good question.
On the coast anywhere will be milder than inland,and that means that there's usually no snow on the ground and daytime highs above freezing even in coastal Maine. VT, northern NH, western CT and western MA could have snow but the chance is still relatively low around Thanksgiving. Usually early snow melts off in a day.

Cool temps are pretty much guaranteed however.

6. "New England" provides a VERY dramatic range of climates that time of year.
Where, specifically, are you asking about?

10. bi_baby and chimpsrsmahtah tell it like it is.
November is cold for a Californian but it's usually above freezing during the day (40s.) Sometimes it snows, but it's rare that a November snow amounts to much. It's also rare that it gets warmer than the 50s but it does happen.

11. I was in New Hampshire in the weeks leading up to the primary
and *that* was cold.

When you go outside, and it feels strangely warmer, and you look at the thermometer and it's 20.... :scared:

13. See what I mean ?
When I'm home in New England I don't wear gloves until the temps dip below freezing. Here in NorCal I see people breaking out the wool coat when the temps go below 55. Cold is relative.

NH tends to be colder and snowier than Boston, FWIW.

below freezing at night) however it's not usually snowy. Boston is often reasonably warm! I think we have the perfect Thanksgiving weather. Alas for the rest of the year the weather SUCKS.
edited for the same typo I always make
