[Vision2020] Unusually Dry Nov. 2010 So Far, La Nina Weather Arrives: Winter Storm Warning

[Ted Moffett]

So far November 2010 has not been typical of a La Nina weather pattern
(more than average precipitation), with precipitation through the
first 20 days of November, on average the wettest month for our area,
well below the November monthly historical average.  But here it
comes... Tuesday temperatures might plunge below zero, but consider
the record daily low for November 23, minus 11 F., set in 1985...
That winter was way serious in amount of snow and cold...

Winter Storm Warning from the National Weather Service:
