November 



Sky: — Unlike October, November is prevalently a cloudy month, 

 there being more cloudy periods than clear for every year for 

 which we have a record, the cloudy periods for the entire time ex- 

 ceeding the clear by nearly 50 per cent. 



Air: — Calm periods are still frequent, east winds are the least 

 frequent, but the others are pretty well distributed. 



Storms: — Storms, both rain and snovv' are common. It is 

 usually a foggy month, the fogs generally being dissipated during 

 the day but forming again during the night. Eleven fogs were 

 observed during this month in 1900. Frosts are very frequent, 13 

 having been recorded for November in 1900. It is the month in 

 which the pools first freeze over.
