2003 didn't have November activity either. Perhaps you were looking at Nicholas, who just managed to crawl into November 1 as an extratropical depression. That doesn't count! Anyway, historical records mean little. This season above all others has proved that. Remember, 1995, with all its activity, was quiet all November. This invest, by the way, seems to have lost most of its shower activity. Their's no rain in this thing! Also, 20 and 30 knot shear looms just north of it. November is not only the newest, but least active month of the season. I believe the most storms to form in November is 2 or 3.    - '''' - ''''
