Thanks to the Colonel and my lack of a life on a Saturday Night with 2 grade school age kids...not out and about tonight - I went back and crunched the numbers for Turkey Day in Chester County Pa. This was not as easy as some analysis as Thanksgiving falling on the 4th Thursday of November is not conducive to standard excel pivot tables that I normally use but here are the weather facts for Thanksgivings in Chester County Pa during the last 125 years of CoOp history since 1894.
