Preview of Winter

November is the transition month from fall to winter. It is a time when we finish the clean-up of the autumn leaves and summer gardens and finalize the preparations of our homes and cars for the hard winter weather ahead. The holiday season begins with Thanksgiving, a long weekend during which more of us travel to see friends and families than any other holiday in the year.

Unfortunately, during this busy time, the usually quiet weather of October often gives way to the first big winter storms of the season. The frequency increases during the month with the threat of wet or snowy weather becoming fairly high in the north about the time of peak holiday travel.

The continental United States which reached the annual minimum of non-tropical storms in late summer experiences a rapid increase of these storms in November. The storm tracks of the winter season all reappear. The British Columbia, the Alberta and the Colorado lows and the east coast cyclones all become active and can become quite intense.
