In 1896 The mercury plunged to 51 degrees below zero at Havre MT.
It marked the culmination of a two week long cold wave
caused by a stagnant high pressure area similar to those
over Siberia during the winter. During the month of
November temperatures across Montana and the Dakotas
averaged 15 to 25 degrees below normal.
In 1969 Dense fog along the Jersey Turnpike resulted in a chain
reaction of vehicle collisions during the morning rush
hour. A propane truck jacknifed and was struck by a
trailor truck, and other vehicles piled into the fiery
mass.
In 1975 Red River NM was buried under 34 inches of snow in
24 hours, which established a state record.
In 1985 The temperature at Bismarck ND plunged to 30 degrees
below zero to establish their record low for the month of
November. The high that day was 4 degrees below zero.

snow reported near Lake Superior. Up to ten inches of
snow was reported in Douglas County and Bayfield County
of Wisconsin. Brule WI received nine inches of snow.
Heavy rain soaked the Middle Atlantic Coast States, while
gale force winds lashed the coastline. Flooding was
reported in Maryland and Virginia.
In 1988 Nine inches of snow at Alta UT brought their total for
the month to 164 inches, surpassing their previous
November record of 144 inches. Snowbird UT, also in the
Little Cottonwood Valley, surpassed their November record
of 118 inches of snow.
In 1989 Strong Santa Ana wind diminished over southern
California, but record cold was reported in some of
the California valleys, with readings of 27 degrees
at Redding and 31 degrees at Bakersfield. Gale force
winds, gusting to 44 mph at Milwuakee WI, produced snow
squalls in the Great Lakes Region. Sault Ste Marie MI
finished the month of November with a record 46.8 inches
of snow.
