What November feels like

November is the grey month locals simply get through: leaves down, light gone early, and a wind that carries a wetness past most coats. Thanksgiving pulls half the city toward Plymouth for the day, so the roads out of town are worth avoiding.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 7 nights dip below freezing.
