A dite nippy

Went for an evening walk ("evening" being a moving target now, with sunset ever earlier) and discovered that November has come early.  Temperature in the upper 30s F, with breeze.  The TV weather-people have started to whisper "wind chill" and "snow" amongst their incantations.

A "dite" is a Maine measurement, somewhere between a smidge and a bit.

Is a dite larger or smaller than a tad?

That depends on who is measuring, and what.
