Data from the National Weather Service show that it has been the snowiest November on record. Vermont’s next highest snowfall level in November was 24 inches in 1900. The average snowfall in November is 6.1 inches.

Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s tallest peak, has a snow depth of 46 inches, the National Weather says. The previous highest depth was 45 inches in 1990.

And temperatures have been 5.9 degrees cooler than normal in Vermont, Hill says.

The weather pattern in November was “very unusual,” he says. The Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada are the only cold spots in the entire Northern Hemisphere. The rest of the Northern Hemisphere has experienced average or warm temperatures. Alaska and Siberia have been above average, Hill said.

Temperatures are expected, he says, to “warm up a bit as we go into December.”

As for tomorrow? Vermonters can expect a mixed bag of precipitation as part of another busy weather pattern, Hill said.
