REMARKS 



The weather during November was record-breaking in 

 several respects. The outstanding feature was the snow- 

 storm on the 24th and 25th, which was accompanied by 

 high wind that caused much drifting. A total of 11.50 inches 

 was recorded during this storm, which is a very heavy fall 

 for such an early date. On the 27th two inches more fell, 

 bringing the total for the month to 13.50 inches. This is 

 the heaviest snowfall for November ever recorded at the 

 station, the nearest approach being 9 inches in 1924. Snow- 

 fall records have been taken since 1889. 



The mean temperature for the month was 41.5 degrees, 

 as compared to a normal of 38.6 degrees. The first half of 

 the month was extremely warm, with a maximum tempera- 

 ture of 75 degrees on the 7th. This is the highest temper- 

 ature on record for a November day, and it has been 

 equalled only once — in November, 1924. The lowest tem- 

 perature was -4 degrees on the 26th, which breaks another 

 record for November. The previous record was 3.5 degrees 

 above zero on November 30, 1891. Temperature records 

 have been taken since 1838. 



The domestic heating load for November was 705 

 degree-days, compared to a normal of 792 degree-days. The 

 load for the heating season is now 1200 degree-days, the 

 normal for this period being 1403 degree-days. 



The total precipitation was 2.82 inches; the normal, 

 3.45 inches. This brings the total precipitation since Janu- 

 ary 1 to 55.05 inches, as compared to a normal of 40.05 

 inches for the same period. There were 152 hours of bright 

 sunshine, the normal for November being 121 hours. The 

 mean relative humidity was 74.8 percent; the normal, 70.1 

 percent.
