November 2012 Tell Us About Contest..1..winners

I recall as a child that our Indian Summers always started just before Halloween and would last for about 2 weeks. We never had to wear much more than a good sweater under our costumes. Come the second week of November, temps would start to drop quite a bit and the north winds start to blow.

I remember one Halloween when my cousins came for a visit from England. They had never experienced it before and had planned this trip to come specifically then. Of course, we had a major snow storm with the cold and about 4 ft of snow. We had to scramble to find them boots, jackets & such. That was in around 71 or 72. They took so many pics of the snow and the snowbanks, toboggan slides and such. They had never seen so much snow in their lives, but they were happy that they got to experience so much more than just Halloween. We did everything we possibly could to give them so many first experiences. They still talk about it.

I remember a Nov. about 20 years age when the whole month was so warm and my husband got to play golf on Nov. 30 which was his birthday.

This year it is actually quite warm here for November, or it started out warm on the 1st anyway. Besides that I can not really remember much more LOL.

I live in ON Canada' it's pretty much a rule of thumb we've snow by Hallowe'en; this yr is unreasonably 'warm' as the first flakes hit today

im also 2 old , however i remember in the 90s i worked a double shift. because to many people couldnt make it to work . we had record snow and cold . i come out of work and found my car burried in snow up to windows. when they cleared parking lot , they put snow in front of my car.so i took off work the next day. i was tired from fighting out of spot, ty josie46

Last year, here in Richmond, VA, we had an extremely warm November and December. I don't remember taking my coat out all winter long, in fact. We just wore sweaters and light jackets all through the winter. It didn't feel like we really had four seasons last year. However, this year is making up for it. I've got my warmest winter coat out already, and it's just the beginning of November. I think it's gonna be a cold one!

The coldest was -28 degrees in Illinois the day before Thanksgiving, and the warmest was +108 in Olangapo, Phillipines.

so far back , i can't remember ,lolty josie46

Our Novembers usually are all over the place, with highs in the 80's and lows in the 30's, neither one super hot or super cold, i even went back to check towns weather history, because i couldnt think of one!
