Snow melt in downtown Moncton
The first half of November was quite mild with double digit highs and even fairly warm nights but then near mid-month the bottom fell out and temperatures plummeted to as low as -15.5 C a near record low.
Precipitation was above normal thanks to a huge dump of snow, 32.7 cm on November 22nd, a new record for that date.
However, milder weather arrived at month end resulting in a gradual snow melt.
