Galeton weather for November was fairly normal. Daytime highs were mainly in the 40s and morning lows were in the 20’s . However, it did hit 60 on the 6th and it dropped into the teens from the 19th through the 24th. We reported 6 foggy mornings. 

Tomorrow is the beginning of meteorological winter.  The lawnmower may officially be put away until spring unless of course you would like to have them set outside to look at as a reminder that mowing season will be just around the corner. Now is the season when snow shovels should be brought out and a snow blower or blade installed on the tractor. Just a reminder.

Now to get back to the details of the November report.   The average high temperature is 45 degrees and the average low is 28 degrees. The average rainfall total is 3.07″  This year we received 4.69″ and last year we recorded 1.63″  Snowfall.  This year we received 4.3″ last year 5.2″  We had 2 days with 1″ or more snow on the ground with the greatest depth of 3″ on the 16th. We had 5 days with at least a trace of snow on the ground.

In three weeks we will begin to see longer days.
