IF IT WAS NOT FOR AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE BRINGING 1.11 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION TO CONCORD ON THE 21ST AND 22ND, PRECIPITATION WOULD HAVE BEEN WELL BELOW NORMAL. THERE WERE ONLY EIGHT DAYS OF THE MONTH WHERE CONCORD RECEIVED MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION. MUCH OF THE MONTH FEATURED DAYS WHERE TEMPERATURES RAN BELOW NORMAL OR WERE CLOSE TO NORMAL WHILE THERE WERE NOT ANY NOTABLE WARM SPELLS. THE DOMINANT PATTERN THROUGH THE MONTH WAS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER HUDSON BAY EXTENDING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN CANADA. THE TROUGH AXIS OVER NEW ENGLAND WAS OFTEN TOO FAR EAST LIMITING THE POTENTIAL FOR MOISTURE TO BE DRAWN INTO NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ENOUGH MOISTURE THAT ARRIVED WITH COLD AIR THAT ALLOWED CONCORD TO RECEIVE TWO LIGHT SNOW EVENTS. THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WAS 36.1 DEGREES, WHICH WAS 2.5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THE COLDEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD WAS IN 1873 WHEN THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS 28.8 DEGREES. THE WARMEST WAS 43.3 DEGREES IN 2006. A TOTAL OF 2.24 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION FELL, WHICH WAS 1.20 INCHES BELOW NORMAL. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION FELL ON THE 21ST INTO THE 22ND WHEN A TOTAL OF 1.11 INCHES WAS RECORDED. THE DRIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD WAS IN 2012 WHEN ONLY 0.50 INCHES FELL. THE WETTEST WAS 7.59 INCHES IN 1937. A TOTAL OF 3.9 INCHES OF SNOW FELL, WHICH WAS 1.4 INCHES ABOVE NORMAL. THE SNOWIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD WAS IN 1873 WHEN 25.0 INCHES FELL. THERE HAVE BEEN 5 YEARS ON RECORD WHERE NO SNOW FELL AT CONCORD DURING NOVEMBER, WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING IN 2015. NO RECORDS WERE SET OR TIED IN NOVEMBER. $$ DS/HAT
