    On this day...   
       In 1946 A heavy wet snow began to cover the Southern Rockies.  Up   
               to three feet of snow blanketed the mountains of   
               New Mexico, and a 31 inch snow at Denver CO caused roofs   
               to collapse.   
       In 1961 The temperature at Atlanta GA reached 84 degrees to   
               establish a record for November.   
       In 1966 A storm brought 18 inches of snow to Celia KY   
               in 24 hours.  It tied the state 24 hour snowfall   
               record first established at Bowling Green.   
       In 1976 Two light aircraft were struck by lightning while in   
               flight over Boston, Massachusetts. There were no injuries.   
       In 1987 A dozen cities, mostly in the Ohio Valley, reported   
               record high temperatures for the date.  Record highs   
               included 83 degrees at Paducah KY and 84 degrees at   
               Memphis TN.  Temperatures reached 70 degrees as far north   
               as southern Lower Michigan.  Showers and thundershowers   
               over southern Florida, associated with a tropical   
               depression, produced 4.77 inches of rain at Tavernier,   
               located in the Upper Floirda Keys.   
       In 1988 A very intense low pressure system brought heavy rain,   
               snow, and high winds, to parts of the northeastern U.S.   
               Portland ME established a record for November with   
               4.52 inches of rain in 24 hours, and winds along the   
               coast of Maine gusted to 74 mph at Southwest Harbor.   
               Heavy snow blanketed parts of northern Vermont and   
               upstate New York, with fifteen inches reported at Spruce   
               Hill NY.   
       In 1989 Squalls in the Upper Great Lakes Region the first three   
               days of the month buried Ironwood MI under 46 inches of   
               snow, and produced 40 inches at Hurley WI.  Arctic cold   
               invaded the Southern Plains Region.  Midland TX reported   
               a record low of 22 degrees.   
       In 1997 An F-3 tornado hit New Smyrna Beach, Florida causing   
               heavy damage. 31 homes were destroyed, 290 were damaged,   
               and 52 people were injured.   
       In 2000 Hilo, Hawaii received nearly 28 inches of rain in a 28   
               hour period on the 1st and 2nd...their normal November   
               rainfall is around 14 1/2 inches.
