Anticipated change in November

Most of us recognize November as a big transition month weatherwise, and despite a string of very mild winters, we would be wise to anticipate certain changes. Such as:

-Lower freezing levels in the atmosphere that increase chances for frozen precipitation (snow), and lower the decks of clouds above us, more stratoform (layered) in nature.

-Ice forming on inland lakes, and soils beginning to freeze.

-More visible bird migrations.
