What a November snowfall could look like

ST. LOUIS – November is still very much a transition month, as the warm air fades and the cold makes more frequent visits. With a shot of cold air set for later this week, it's not too early to think of snow around these parts.

The earliest measurable snow in St. Louis happened on Oct. 20, 1916, when a tenth of an inch fell. The earliest recorded inch or more of snowfall happened on Nov. 5, 1951, when 3.4 inches blanketed the city.

Our typical November snowstorm will start as a cold rain; maybe even a few strong storms. But as the storm passes and slows down, the cold air pours in behind, changing the moisture over to wet, slushy snow. And, occasionally, that can lead to decent November snowfall.

MANILA (Reuters) -Philippine authorities issued an urgent appeal on Saturday for residents in low-lying areas and coastal towns to move to safety as super typhoon Man-Yi gained strength on its approach towards the country's main Luzon island. Man-Yi, the sixth tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in a month, intensified with maximum sustained winds reaching 195 kph (121 mph) and gusts up to 240 kph, according to state weather agency PAGASA. This prompted it to raise its storm alert to its highest level for the provinces of Catanduanes and Camarines Sur in the central Bicol region.

Super typhoon Man-Yi swept across the Philippines' main island of Luzon on Sunday, threatening heavy rain in the capital region Metro Manila, after triggering more than a million evacuations and damaging buildings in several areas. Packing winds of 185 kph (115 mph), it weakened slightly after hitting land in the town of Panganiban in Catanduanes province on Saturday night to arrive over the coastal waters of Camarines Norte province by 8 a.m., weather officials said. "We evacuated because every time there is a typhoon, the water rises in the nearby river," said Amalia Santisas, one those living near coastal areas in Manila, the capital, who followed evacuation orders.
