After an early start to winter just before Halloween, the weather turned mild and storm free, resulting in a loss of snow cover in Winnipeg by Nov 9th. Temperatures were generally mild with highs frequently above the freezing mark and little in the way of precipitation. The fine weather was especially welcome on the 19th when Winnipeg hosted the Grey Cup with clear skies, light winds and a game time temperature of -3C. The weather was especially mild in the third week of November, peaking with a record mild day of 12.4C on the 22nd, the latest double digit high ever recorded in November in Winnipeg. The ground remained snow free until the 24th when the weather turned colder with more frequent snowfalls. The month ended with a winter storm on the 28th that dumped about 15 cm of snow in Winnipeg and up to 25 cm northwest of the city. Colder temperatures finally settled in after that with the coldest reading of the month of -22.4c recorded on the 30th. Overall the month finished with a mean of -3.8C at my station, about a degree and a half above normal. (Winnipeg airport finished with a mean of -4.5C, 0.8C above normal) Snowfall at my site totalled 20 cm for the month, just about average for November (21.4 cm) however the bulk of that fell with the storm on the 28th. All in all, a quiet and pleasant month with a cold and snowy finish..
