We then saw a week of unseasonably warm conditions that lasted through the 10th.\u00a0 After that, the bottom fell out and the mercury plunged.\u00a0 Five of the next six days failed to climb above freezing as bone-chilling cold more akin to January was seen.\u00a0 We did manage to record more than two inches of snow over the same period.<\/p>\n
A largely seasonal weather pattern then settled in with most of the next nine days having readings not too far from average.\u00a0 Three of the last four days of the month then brought back very mild conditions.<\/p>\n
Thornton\u2019s overall average temperature for the month was 35.1 degrees.\u00a0 This was well below the long term November average for Denver of 38.3 degrees.\u00a0 Out at the airport, official Denver readings were a bit warmer with an average of 36.2 degrees.<\/p>\n
Thornton\u2019s warmest reading in November came on the 29th with maximum of 72.5 degrees.\u00a0 The coldest was -8.8 degrees on the morning of the 13th.\u00a0 Denver\u2019s maximum was similar to ours at 72 degrees but its coldest was a bit further down there at -14 degrees.<\/p>\n
Five temperature records were set for the month, only one was for a warm reading.\u00a0 That came on the 9th with a record high minimum.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, demonstrating just how significant the cold blast in the middle of the month was, Denver set four cold temperature related records for the month.\u00a0 These included record low maximums on the 11th and 12th and record lows on the 12th and 13th.<\/p>\n
In terms of precipitation, Thornton finished below average while Denver was slightly above.\u00a0 The November average is 0.61 inches.\u00a0 Here in Thornton we had a mere 0.39 inches while DIA recorded 0.76.<\/p>\n
November is one of our snowiest months but that was certainly not the case this year.\u00a0 While the long term average is 8.7 inches, Thornton recorded only 3.0 inches and Denver 4.0 inches.<\/p>\n

With a high pressure ridge above, the month started out quite nice.\u00a0 A cold front … Continue reading November 2014 weather recap: Month saw cooler, drier than normal conditions<\/span> ![\"November](\"http:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-aMt7S1Px1No\/VIL20digknI\/AAAAAAAADQw\/npmExXlcChc\/s560\/11-14-Temps.jpg\")
