Overall, the month averaged a little below the monthly normal of -4.7C.. -4.8C at my site and -5.6 at YWG airport. The weather pattern in November was dominated by a large ridge over western Canada giving BC and Albeta a significantly warmer than normal month. The dividing line between this warm airmass and colder Arctic air was generally through Manitoba resulting in the variable conditions during the month. Precipitation was below normal at my site, with about 13 cm of snow and 3 mm of rain. Most of the rain fell on the 22nd as a period of freezing rain which coated the city with a slick layer of ice. Snowfall was lightly scattered through the month with the heaviest fall of 6 cm on the 13th. Snowcover was never more than 5 cm.. and by months end was down to 1 cm at my location.
