What to pack

What November feels like

November is when Portland turns inward: the outdoor seating disappears, the light goes early, and the season's first snow typically arrives before the month is out. It's a fine month for the food scene precisely because nobody is competing for a table.

Winter is doing its thing: 2.3 in of snow in a typical November, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 18 nights dip below freezing.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 50° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
