No Surprise: November Was Pretty Cold

I feel like almost all of us knew that this was gonna happen, but the numbers came in today, and the 2014 November was one of the cooler Novembers in several years. 10 states came in with a top 5 coldest November on record, and one of those states was Kentucky, according to the National Climactic Data Center. For the nation, the average temperature was 39.3ºF.

December has started off on a warmer note, but the long range isn’t looking as good. For more information about our local climatology for November, check out Zack Leasor’s post on the Bowling Green weather summary for the month!
