November 2001 continued the run of unseasonably dry weather. All of Eastern Pennsylvania received less than half of its normal monthly precipitation and was less than one fourth of its normal precipitation totals around Philadelphia. The mounting precipitation deficits prompted Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary David E. Hess on November 6th to issue a drought warning for South Central Pennsylvania (including Chester County). The drought warning for Chester County called for a ten to fifteen percent voluntary reduction in water consumption.

"Outflow" westerly winds reached at least 62 mph according to the Whittier Harbormaster Monday midday.  Gusty westerly winds, reaching 52 mph, were reported also on the 'official' Whittier observation during this time.  Whittier observations are  taken by a contract observer who monitors winds, remoted from the Whittier Harbor building, for brief periods during the hour.  There is no peak wind equipment at the site.  No specials are available from this site...and it typically does not record peak conditions.In this case, cold "outflow" winds were likely stronger at the head of the bay...rather than at the boat harbor.

An upper low level pressure trough moved across eastern Washington, bringing heavy snow to the mountain areas in the northeast part of the state.  The following area some of the heavier snowfall totals:  49 North Ski Area...31", Mount Spokane Ski Area...12", Republic...9.5", Bodie Mountain...9.5", Newport...8.5", Chesaw...5", Chewelah...4.5", and Colville...3".While heavy snow typically takes place in this area several times each winter, this storm was unusually damaging when it dumped heavy, wet, sticky snow followed by wind gusts of 20 to 30 miles an hour.  This combination was responsible for downing hundreds of trees and numerous power lines.  Some trees fell on homes, causing mostly minor structural damage. The hardest hit area was in a corridor from Wellpinit to Springdale to Newport.  In Pend Oreille County, three-quarters of the county lost electricity.  Some residents were without power for around a week, and utility crews compared the amount of damage to that caused by the famous ice storm in November 1996.

The total average rainfall from October through December was 4.39 inches, which was a deficit of 7.50 inches.  Rainfall was below average for the last six consecutive months, which yielded an average deficit of 10.36 inches.The combined storage in the New York City water supply reservoir system at the end of the month was 44.3 percent of capacity, which was 31.7 percent below normal.  Capacities in the individual reservoirs at the end of the month were:Croton System		83.5% (percent capacity)Roundout Reservoir		93.1%Ashokan Reservoir		43.2%Schoharie Reservoir     	16.6%Cannonsville Reservoir	7.8%Pepcaton Reservoir 		34.3%Neversink Reservoir 		36.4%The combined storage in the Upper Delaware River Basin at the Neversink, Pepcaton, and Cannonsville Reservoirs was less than 25 percent capacity (approximately 64 billion gallons).  This was over 116 billion gallons below normal or 62.7 percent below normal levels.  This was the lowest level since the last of the three reservoirs went on line in 1967.Streamflows in Southeast NY remained below normal.  The mean flow on the Wallkill River at Gardiner was in the deficit range for the fifth consecutive month.As a consequence of declining water levels, on the 3rd, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) upgraded the drought watch to a drought warning for Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester Counties.
