Lancaster County residents awoke to the coldest temperature since mid-April, only to see the mercury soar to a near-record 67.
And with the heavy wind from the previous two days played out, it felt positively balmy.
From an icy low of 29 at 7 a.m., the temperature soared an amazing 38 degrees over the next seven hours as a high-pressure system from the Carolinas moved in.
The high of 67 was 20 degrees above the normal high for the date and just 2 degrees lower than the record of 69.
In a very uncharacteristic November, Sunday was only the sixth day in which the temperature has dipped to freezing.
Just two Sundays ago, on Nov. 15, temperatures soared to a balmy 71 degrees.
But Tuesday will be another month and a return to more seasonal conditions.
There's a 50 percent chance of showers today as a cold front passes through. It will be breezy with a high of about 50 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Tuesday will be partly sunny with a high of 48.
But then another storm may move out of the South and into the area, bringing the possibility of significant precipitation and even a few unusual late-season thunder boomers.
The National Weather Service said showers and thunderstorms are likely in Lancaster on Wednesday night and Thursday.
The highs on Thursday will be about 52.
