 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1870 The first storm warning was issued by the U.S. Signal
            Corps Weather Service.
    In 1943 An early season snowstorm raged across eastern South
            Dakota and Minnesota into northern Wisconsin.  The storm
            produced 22 inches of snow at Fairbult and Marshall MN,
            20 inches at Redwood Falls MN, and 10.1 inches at
            Minneapolis.  Drifts fifteen feet high were reported in
            Cottonwood County MN.  The storm produced up to two feet
            of snow in South Dakota, smothering a million Thanksgiving
            Day turkeys. (6th-8th)
    In 1953 Residents of New York City suffered through ten days of
            smog, resulting in 200 deaths.
    In 1966 The temperature in downtown San Francisco reached a
            November record of 86 degrees.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms over Texas produced locally heavy rains in
            the Hill Country, with 3.50 inches reported at Lakeway,
            and 3.72 inches reported at Anderson Mill.  Thunderstorms
            over Louisiana produced hail an inch in diameter at Clay
            and at Provencial.  Blustery northwest winds, ushering
            cold air into western Kansas and into northwest Texas,
            gusted to 46 mph at Hill City KS.
    In 1988 Fair weather prevailed across much of the nation for
            Election Day.  Midland TX equalled their record for
            November with an afternoon high of 89 degrees, and the
            record high of 87 degrees at Roswell NM was their fifth
            in eight days.
    In 1989 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing along and
            ahead of a cold front produced severe weather from
            northern Louisiana into central Georgia. Thunderstorms
            spawned three tornadoes, and there were sixty-four
            reports of large hail or damaging winds. A late
            afternoon thunderstorm in central Georgia spawned
            a tornado which killed one person and injured eight
            others at Pineview. Late afternoon thunderstorms in
            central Mississippi produced baseball size hail around
            Jackson, and wind gusts to 70 mph at Walnut Grove.
    In 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest tropical
            cyclones ever observed, made landfall in the Philippines.
            It's estimated it had sustained winds of 195 mph, and
            gusts to 235 mph at landfall...the equivalent of an
            intense category 5 hurricane. The storm was so large in
            diameter, that clouds from it were affecting two-thirds
            of the country, which extended over 1150 miles. Over
            10,000 perished in the storm.
