Race-morning weather history
Upstate-NY Thanksgiving mornings: cold, freezing temps and snow plausible at the 8 AM start. 2020 virtual-only; founded 1916 but not annually continuous (which years were skipped is unrecorded) — treat deep-history slots as calendar Thanksgivings. Wyndo tracks what this calendar slot has actually served up at the start hour — temperature, dew point, wind, and rain — including the years when weather canceled or disrupted the race, and reads the live forecast for the start once the race confirms its schedule and race week arrives.
