November 2017 in the books…

One very alarming, at the same time sad thing stands out. The poor Oakland MMTS siting is absolutely ruining the numbers, which affects the long term running mean and all the work of the past 100+years of data collecting. Its a crying shame to see. Its very obvious.

Overall November 2017 will go down as a slightly below normal temperature month, but also a very dry month. Due to the very dry air, remnants of Nov 19th snow remained in spots until today. Which was only a 2-4″ snowfall, and thats quite incredible given the temps the past 10 days. Low dew points, low sun angle, short days, allowed north facing slopes, shaded areas to retain very light patches. Talking very minimal, but existent in spots. Thats reflected in my daily post.
