What November feels like

November is when the town takes its breath: restaurants trim their hours, the peninsulas go quiet, and rooms get cheap. The first lake-effect squalls usually blow through before Thanksgiving, and they arrive sideways rather than falling.

Winter is doing its thing: 5.6 in of snow in a typical November, with fresh snow on about 5 days. about 18 nights dip below freezing.
