Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The First Continental Congress actually met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, not Trenton, New Jersey. It began on September 5, 1774, and lasted until October 26, 1774. While it was held during a period of political tension leading up to the American Revolution, there is no record of it being particularly cold that year.
