In 1812 Southwesterly winds of hurricane force sank ships and
unroofed buildings at Philadelphia and New York City.
In 1863 The "battle above the clouds" was fought on Lookout
Mountain near Chattanooga. Pre-frontal clouds obscured
the upper battlefield aiding a Union victory.
In 1923 Yale beat Harvard during a rain-soaked football game in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
In 1950 The temperature at Chicago IL dipped to 2 below zero
to equal their record for the month established on the
29th in 1872. On the first of the month that year
Chicago established a record high for November with a
reading of 81 degrees.
In 1982 Hurricane Iwa lashed the Hawaiian Islands of Niihau,
Kauai, and Oahu with high winds and surf. Winds gusting
to 120 mph caused extensive shoreline damage. Damage
totalled 150 million dollars on Kauai, and fifty million
dollars on Oahu. The peak storm surge on the south shore
was six to eight feet. It marked the first time in 25
years that Hawaii had been affected by a hurricane.
In 1987 Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in southern
Missouri, southeast Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma.
Flooding was reported in Greene County of southwestern
Missouri. Springfield MO was drenched with more than six
inches of rain. Thunderstorms over southern Texas
produced more than eight inches of rain in Caldwell
County and Hayes County, and thunderstorms over south
central Oklahoma produced one inch hail at Temple twice
within an hour.
In 1988 Low pressure brought heavy snow and high winds to the
Northern and Central Rockies. Snowfall totals in
Colorado ranged up to 40 inches at Wolf Creek Pass, with
27 inches falling in 24 hours. Telluride CO received 32
inches of snow, and winds atop Mines Peak gusted to 95 mph.
In 1989 "Mother Nature" completed a one-two punch in the
northeastern U.S., as record cold temperatures followed
in the wake of record snows. A dozen cities reported
record low temperatures for the date. Morning lows of
one above zero at Hartford CT, 3 at Portland ME, and 6 at
Providence RI, were records for November. Houlton ME was
the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 14
degrees below zero.
In 2014 Temperatures warmed into the 60s, and much of the heavy
snow that fell on the 17th-21st, melted quickly, causing
severe flooding.
