NOVEMBER 2023 SUMMARY

The month as a whole was pretty typical of November. The month started cold, with some ski areas cranking the snow guns early. The first natural accumulation in many areas occurred on the first day of the month. Some locations did see October snowfall. The 10th of the month brought a moderate round of snow to areas of the Wv high ground. A view around Bald Knob of the event can be seen here https://alleghenymountainsweather.com/2023/11/11/cabin-mt-at-bald-knob-edition-november-10-2023/
A milder trend took over that mid section of the month with just enough cold air that lead to an ice event for some areas on the 21st of the month and heavy rains as well. Seen here
https://alleghenymountainsweather.com/2023/11/21/review-of-november-21-2023/ . The last week of the month turned cold and produced a surprise accumulation for some areas on the 28th of the month and the final week also allowed for area wide snow making at the resort.
