Unlike October, November was close to average, both in temperatures and precipitation. Very different from the record November of 1985, when the temperature dropped to a record 10 below zero and 17 days when the temperature never got above freezing and November of 1996 when we got 58" of snow, the beginning of a winter that brought a record 247 inches (20 feet) of snow. Total moisture for this water-year (since October 1, 2020) is 8.95" compared to 7.63" average (17% above average). For snowfall, we have 19.2" compared to 13.2" average (45% above average). The Poorman Creek SNOTEL station at 5100 ft reads 24" of snow on the ground (6.7" water-equivalent), 93% of average.
