ChescoWx Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 With the 5.0" of snow today here in Chester County we have now moved into 6th place all time for Snow in November. This is also now the snowiest November in the last 61 years!! Here are the top 5 Novembers all-time 1) 1898 - (11.4") 2)1938 - (10.0") 3)1906 - ( 9.5") 4)1910 - (9.3") 5) 1953 - (8.6") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwx Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think it would be interesting to know the number of events that occurred to make the record. Was it one event that occurred for the 1898 record? It probably doesn't make much sense for January but November it might?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 So what is the total for this November? Probably over 7" but let's have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think I've received more snow before Thanksgiving this year than I did the entire winter of 2011-12. Keep it coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think I've received more snow before Thanksgiving this year than I did the entire winter of 2011-12. Keep it coming! Maybe if you only count winter proper and not October... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Maybe if you only count winter proper and not October... How did I forget about that? Thanks, Ray! 2011: Irene and pre-Halloween snow 2012: Sandy and snow a week or so later After awhile, it all blends together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxLover Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Love that 1898 comparison. If you ever have read anything on that Winter, 1898-1899, I believe it was a block buster Winter, for the entire country East of the Miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The 1898 through 1910 period featured 3 Novembers with snowfall above 9" - that would tend to skew some expectations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Humidity Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I guess 1989 was below 5" in Chester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I guess 1989 was below 5" in Chester? There was at least 1.1" on the 13th, so the total for this November would be 6.1" or greater, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been hard to beat mine here since we had 13" Nov two years ago. That'll likely never happen again while I walk this earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some interesting micro trends/patterns over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I guess 1989 was below 5" in Chester? For me, 1989 is still the snowiest November that I can recall (4.8") - but the rest of that winter was either very cold and dry (December) or very warm and snowless (January through mid-March of 1990). Hope to not see a repeat of that one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDoppler Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I have no idea what the records are for my specific location, as I seriously doubt anyone kept them. (Plus I'm only 900', lot's of 1,000'+ real estate around here topping out at 1,250') I do know even without keeping records, this is the snowiest November in my lifetime here. I'm at 11.4" so far, although I'm sure those long ago winters had higher totals than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz299 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thought I'd throw this in the Nov.,'89, discussion though I'm "far removed" from all you PA folks. I measured 6.1" here in Cape May! Fell on the 22nd-23rd. My max. temp. on the 22nd was 35° early in the day with 31°/24° on the 23rd. I just loved it! In Cape May's history the 5.9" in 1898 the only other "significant" November snowfall I could find. It CAN happen at the shore but '89 was the last time.

There was about 6" here, a snowfall during the day with temps below freezing for the duration I believe, from a storm that kind of came straight across the country and exited off the Virginia coast, or something along those lines. Like 1989, the rest of the winter here was nothing to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yes 4.6" fell between the 22nd and 23rd I guess 1989 was below 5" in Chester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 November 1898 5.3" on the 24th 5.0" on the 26th/27th 1.1" on the 30th 11.4" total for the month 6.8" total so far for this month moving 2014 into 6th place all-time in the Chesco record books I think it would be interesting to know the number of events that occurred to make the record. Was it one event that occurred for the 1898 record? It probably doesn't make much sense for January but November it might?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
