            a November record for 76 years.
    In 1927 Somerset VT was deluged with 8.77 inches of rain to
            establish a 24 hour record for the state.  (3rd-4th)
    In 1961 A rare November thunderstorm produced snow at Casper WY.

    In 1987 Twenty-one cities, mostly in the Ohio Valley, reported
            record high temperatures for the date.  The afternoon
            high of 80 degrees at Columbus OH was their warmest
            reading of record for so late in the season.  Showers and
            thundershowers associated with a tropical depression
            south of Florida produced 4.28 inches of rain at
            Clewiston in 24 hours.
    In 1988 A sharp cold front brought about an abrupt end to "Indian
            Summer" in the north central U.S.  Up to a foot of snow
            blanketed Yellowstone Park WY, and winds in the mountains
            near the Washoe Valley of southeastern Wyoming gusted to
            78 mph.  Unseasonably warm weather continued in the south
            central U.S.  Del Rio TX tied Laredo TX and McAllen TX
            for honors as the hot spot in the nation with a record
            warm afternoon high of 91 degrees.
    In 1989 Cold weather prevailed in the central U.S.  Six cities in
            Texas, Minnesota, and Michigan, reported record low
            temperatures for the date.  The low of 7 above zero at
            Marquette MI was their coldest reading of record for so
            early in the season.
    In 2000 Sydney, Austrailia was pummeled by golfball sized hail.
    In 2002 Dense Fog caused a pileup of over 200 vehicles near
            Long Beach, California. Rescue personnel had to cut many
            victims from the wreckage of their crushed vehicles.
