The Transition To Winter Warmer and Drier Than Normal

By 250 News

The month of November proved to be a mild one, weather-wise.


Environment Canada Meteorologist, Jim Steele, says "The month got off to a great start with the first 10 days well above normal and then it cooled off just a tad mid-month, then warmed up again quite nicely until the last three or four days of the month when winter set in."


The total amount of precipitation was about half the long-term normal average:
                                          November                       Normal
snowfall                                20cm                              36cm
rainfall                                  9mm                              20mm
 
total precipitation              25.2mm                         51.5mm

"The other interest statistic, " says Steele, "With the temperature being quite mild, your temperature was almost 2-degrees above normal for the month."  He says, "It only failed to climb above the freezing mark six days in November."

The warmest temperature was recorded on November 10th:  8.4 degrees.  Fittingly, the coldest day fell on the last day of the month, when it dropped to minus-17.2 degrees overnight.
