In 1964 With the help of a fresh three inch cover of snow, the
temperature at Ely NV dipped to 15 degrees below zero to
establish an all-time record low for the month of
November. That record of -15 degrees was later equalled
on the 19th of November in 1985.
In 1974 A storm produced 15 inches of snow at the Buffalo NY
airport, and 30 inches on the south shore of Lake Erie.
In 1986 An early season cold wave set more than 200 records from
the northwestern U.S. to the east coast over a seven day
period. For some places it proved to be the coldest
weather of the winter season.
In 1987 The first major snowstorm of the season hit the Southern
and Central Rockies, producing 12 inches at the Brian
Head ski resort in Utah overnight. Strong and gusty
winds associated with the storm reached 52 mph at Ruidoso
NM. In the eastern U.S...the temperature at Washington
D.C. soared to 68 degrees, just three days after being
buried under more than a foot of snow.
In 1988 A massive storm produced snow and gusty winds in the
western U.S., with heavy snow in some of the higher
elevations. Winds gusted to 66 mph at Show Low AZ,
and Donner Summit, located in the Sierra Nevada Range of
California, was buried under 23 inches of snow. Heavy
rain soaked parts of California, with 3.19 inches
reported at Blue Canyon.
In 1989 Unseasonably warm weather prevailed east of the Rockies.
Temperatures reached 70 degrees as far north as New
England, and readings in the 80s were reported across the
southeast quarter of the nation. Nineteen cities
reported record high temperatures for the date. For the
second time in the month Dallas/Fort Worth TX equalled
their record for November with an afternoon high of 89
degrees. The high of 91 degrees at Waco TX was their
warmest of record for so late in the season. Heavy snow
blanketed parts of Wyoming overnight, with twelve inches
reported at Cody, and ten inches at Yellowstone Park.
