While there isn't any snow in the forecast just yet, our average first measurable snowfall usually occurs towards the end of November. Measurable snow is defined as snowfall of a tenth of an inch or more, and that typically occurs around November 20th. Our average first trace of snow is October 31st, and the average first inch of snow is usually around the 4th of December.
Last year our first inch of snow occurred on November 25th when 1.5 inches fell. The first trace of snow was on October 29th and then again on the 31st.
The average snowfall for the month of November is 2.3 inches, but there have been many years where the actual snowfall has been a lot higher. Our snowiest November on record occurred just six years ago in 2018 when 15.8 inches of snow fell! Before that, 1947 held the record with 14.8 inches. We likely won't break any snowfall records this November, but there are some signs that are beginning to point to a cooler and wetter trend towards the end of the month.
