Hello Crushers..




Crushers please tell us what was the coldest/warmest November weather you have ever experienced..

Too old to remember exactly.Aroumd 1960.All the lakes and rivers were frozen so skating outside started early.Froze my feet and ears regularly.LOL!!!

This seems to be the warmest one I can remember.

Hard to say. All Novembers are warm here in sunny So Cal !!!

We've had plenty of Thanksgivings here when it was nice enough to wear shorts!

well I lived in Fairbanks, & Kodiak Alaska for a few yrs when I was a kid I don't think too many places get as cold as it gets there lol I remember putting on knee high boots huge coat even a scarf and earmuffs or hat just to walk about 40ft outside to check the mail lol and for like 22hrs a day the sky is late dusk to midnight dark average temp was 5 below and school was only canceled if it reached -20 or so,, I think but my memory isn't great & it was a long time ago...anyway it was god awful cold! I'm glad I dont live there now and have not for a second ever had desire to go back lol! thx 4 the contest!!

I think 1979 was the warmest I can remember lately, I do know we were wearing shorts for xmas that year...lol

I really don't know , sorry

no idea,the sixties?

I remember much colder weather in November when I was a kid. Back in the late 50's, we always had to wear coats/sweaters under our costumes on Halloween and Thanksgiving was really cold. It's probably 10 degrees warmer now, year round....."can you say Global Warming, I knew you could."

I would have to say the sixties, I really can not remember that far back lol.

Duquesne Times – November 30, 1950.

Duquesne is gradually digging its way out of the greatest snowfall in local history.

Through the cooperation of the city, Carnegie-Illinois and the Rogan Trucking Co, all of the city’s main arteries were open for limited emergency travel within 24 hours.

By today, a large section of West Grant Avenue and the business district of First Street were free of snow.

With the exception of a few minor accidents Duquesne weathered the storm without a serious mishap.

Councilman Walter V. Babic who supervised “Operation Cleanup” is to be congratulated for coordinating the snow clearance program as are Mayor Frank Kopriver, Jr., his fellow councilmen and the other employees who worked around the clock to prevent any serious tragedy from occurring here.

Duquesne’s fire department spent a relatively quiet weekend, answering 5 calls none of which resulted in very much damage.

Duquesne’s schools closed since Friday will reopen for all classes on Monday.

We believe Mr. Babic used exceptionally good judgment in opening all arteries as a fire precautionary measure before attempting to remove the snow from any street. Had the occasion demanded, firemen would have been able to reach any point in the city on Monday.

City facilities were accorded persons stranded in Duquesne by the snow. Three college students spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the fire station leaving Monday morning to return to their classes at Penn State.

Two families, one from Norfolk and the other from Wilkinsburg were also given shelter at the Municipal building.

The greatest hazard today is that of overburdened roofs. Mayor Kopriver called on owners of flat roofed buildings to take every precaution by removing the snow at the earliest possible opportunity. The roof of a garage at the rear of 74 N First Street owned by Escovitz Furniture caved in causing extensive damage to a truck and several automobiles.

Duquesne Motor Coach Lines resumed operations on a limited schedule Wednesday afternoon after being idle for several days.

Postmaster Phillip McDermott reported that mail was being delivered as usual with exception of the department’s new mobile unit.

Streetcar traffic, disrupted Friday night bud not resumed operations at press time today.

Garbage collections on streets already cleared were resumed today. Officer William Raible requested that an effort be made to have all garbage in containers. Regular collection schedules will be resumed as soon as possible.

Taxi cabs are back in service offering transportation to any point where travel can be made

AND I REMEMBER THIS LOL

So far this is the warmest. I do remember though many years there was tons of snow on the ground. I love love love snow and it is looking grim this year. What has happened to our weather anyway? LOL

While I was only 4 years old and really don't remember it the record high for November 1st in Elmira, NY (where I grew up) was 93 in 1951
The warmest I actually remember was in the early 90's when we had a week or so of temps in the upper 60's into the mid 70's

wet miserable windy cold dark dull depressing, every novembers the same here
