WITH AN INCH OR MORE WAS MAY 7TH (1.38 INCHES).

FORT WAYNE DID MANAGE TO PICK UP 0.7 INCHES OF SNOW THIS MONTH. THIS
IS 1.2 INCHES BELOW NORMAL AND TIES AS THE 46TH LEAST SNOWY NOVEMBER
ON RECORD. ALL OF THE MONTH`S MEASURABLE SNOWFALL FELL ON NOVEMBER
21ST, ALTHOUGH SEVERAL OTHER DAYS DID HAVE A TRACE OF SNOW.

73 DEGREES, SET IN 1978.

IN ADDITION, THERE WERE TWO NEW RECORD WARM LOW TEMPERATURES SET
THIS MONTH ON NOVEMBER 4TH AND 5TH. ON NOVEMBER 4TH, THE LOW
TEMPERATURE OF 62 DEGREES BROKE THE PREVIOUS DAILY RECORD WARM LOW
OF 58 DEGREES, SET IN 1994. ON NOVEMBER 5TH, THE LOW TEMPERATURE OF
64 DEGREES BROKE THE PREVIOUS DAILY RECORD WARM LOW OF 57 DEGREES,
SET IN 1994. IN ADDITION TO BREAKING THE DAILY RECORD WARM LOW, THIS
