REMARKS. 



The weather for the month marked the change from autumn to 

 winter with more than usual emphasis, although the mean conditions 

 show no remarkable departures from the monthly normals. 



A comparison with the records of previous years shows a precipi- 

 tation of about 30 per cent, above the average and a rather large 

 wind movement. The mean temperature was nearly a degree below 

 the normal November mean. 



The first few days of the month were generally fair and mild and 

 might fairly be said to have given us a remnant of Indian Summer. 

 On the 10th an unusually heavy fall of rain occurred. The latter 

 part of the month was more unpleasant than the first, and the last 

 few days especially so. 



The first snowfall of the season occurred on the 24th. 



On the evenmg of the 2Gth a storm that had been predicted for 

 earlier in the week appeared and by the morning of the 27th had 

 reached its height. This proved to be the most severe storm that 

 has occurred here at this season for many years and has been 

 exceeded in severity by but few even in the mid- winter season. 

 The snowfall while not especially heavy was accompanied by such 

 heavy gales that the drifting was most unusual and resulted in 

 blocking traffic for a considerable time. 



The total wind movement on the 27th was 675 miles which is the 

 maximum record at this station for a period of 24 hours. The maxi- 

 mum velocity of 62 miles per hour, attained at about 7 a. m., has 

 however been exceeded here a number of times. 



The month closed with good sleighing and every prospect that 

 winter has fairly set in.
