...3RD SNOWIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD...

AS IS COMMON IN THE FALL, NOVEMBER WAS AN ACTIVE TRANSITION MONTH
FROM WARMER THAN NORMAL TO COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. SEVERAL
SYSTEMS WITH STRONG COLD FRONTS MOVED THROUGH THE AREA, WHICH OFTEN
RESULTED IN SEVERAL DAYS OF WARM AIR OUT AHEAD OF THE INCOMING
SYSTEM FOLLOWED BY COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES BEHIND IT. THE
WARMEST TEMPERATURE THIS MONTH WAS 66 DEGREES, WHICH OCCURRED ON
NOVEMBER 15TH. CONVERSELY, THE COLDEST TEMPERATURE THIS MONTH WAS 19
DEGREES, WHICH OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 10TH. 15 DAYS THIS MONTH WERE
COOLER THAN NORMAL. DESPITE A SIGNIFICANT COLD SNAP AFTER
THANKSGIVING TO FINISH OUT THE MONTH, NOVEMBER FINISHED RIGHT AROUND
NORMAL. OVERALL, THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS 40.0 DEGREES AND WAS
0.2 DEGREES WARMER THAN NORMAL.

THIS YEAR HAS BEEN NOTABLY DRY FOR SOUTH BEND, ESPECIALLY THROUGHOUT
THE SUMMER AND FALL, AND THIS MONTH WAS NO EXCEPTION. 13 DAYS THIS
MONTH HAD MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION, WITH 2 DAYS HAVING OVER A HALF
INCH OF PRECIPITATION. 0.64" WAS MEASURED ON NOVEMBER 10TH AND 0.67"
WAS MEASURED ON NOVEMBER 29TH. THERE WERE SEVERAL ADDITIONAL DAYS
WITH TOTALS (EITHER RAIN OR MELTED SNOW EQUIVALENT) OF TOTALS AROUND
A QUARTER INCH. IN TOTAL THIS MONTH, SOUTH BEND RECORDED 2.70" OF
PRECIPITATION IN NOVEMBER, WHICH IS ONLY 0.08" BELOW NORMAL.

WHILE TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION ARE UNREMARKABLE FOR NOVEMBER,
WHAT IS NOTABLE ABOUT NOVEMBER IS THE IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT OF SNOW THAT
FELL. TWO LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 3RD
SNOWIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD IN SOUTH BEND! AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES BROUGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW ON NOVEMBER
9-11TH WITH AN IMPRESSIVE 14.3 " OF SNOW TOTAL. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM CAME THROUGH AT THE END OF THE MONTH ON NOVEMBER 29-30TH,
TOTALLING A 2-DAY TOTAL OF 11.4" OF SYNOPTIC (SYSTEM) SNOWFALL.
BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS, THE TOTAL SNOWFALL THIS MONTH WAS 27.1"!
THIS RANKS AS THE 3RD SNOWIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD, ONLY BEHIND 2022
(30.2") AND 1977 (30.3"). SNOWFALL THIS MONTH WAS 22.0" ABOVE NORMAL!

THERE WERE TWO NEW DAILY SNOWFALL RECORDS SET DURING THE MONTH OF
NOVEMBER. 8.2" OF SNOW FELL ON NOVEMBER 9TH, SURPASSING THE PREVIOUS
RECORD OF 8.0" SET IN 1913. 9.0" OF SNOW FELL ON NOVEMBER 29TH,
WHICH BROKE THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 5.9" SET IN 1942.
