(This AD published free of charge by Slate Belt Town Topics) What Does Our Rainy Weather Say About Snow???
by Larry Cory
Last night's downpours dropped 2.83 inches of rain on the already-soggy Slate Belt. Just three days into November, our monthly rainfall stands at 3.22 inches. Considering that the average November rainfall is 3.57 inches, one could assume that we will exceed the average for the 10th month this year. The only 2018 outlier has been June which was a mere .4 of inch below normal. The yearly average is 46.59 inches, but we have already accumulated 65.79 inches since New Years Day. That gives us a surplus of nearly 20 inches with 58 days left in 2018. Moreover, what does this trend tell us about snow? According to the National Weather Service's "experimental" long-range forecasts, we can expect a better than 50% chance of above average rainfall for the remainder of the year. The NWS also predicts a slightly better than even chance of above average temperatures which may tend to mitigate our snowfall in the next 60 days - we hope - unless, of course, you like to ski.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - November 3
D.C. residents cast first presidential votes 1964
On this day in 1964, residents of the District of Columbia cast their ballots in a presidential election for the first time. The passage of the 23rd Amendment in 1961 gave citizens of the nation’s capital the right to vote for a commander in chief and vice president. They went on to help Democrat Lyndon Johnson defeat Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964, the next presidential election.
Between 1776 and 1800, New York and then Philadelphia served as the temporary center of government for the newly formed United States. The capital’s location was a source of much controversy and debate, especially for Southern politicians, who didn’t want it located too far north. In 1790, Congress passed a law allowing President George Washington to choose the permanent site. As a compromise, he selected a tract of undeveloped swampland on the Potomac River, between Maryland and Virginia, and began to refer to it as Federal City. The commissioners overseeing the development of the new city picked its permanent name—Washington—to honor the president. Congress met for the first time in Washington, D.C., on November 17, 1800.
The District was put under the jurisdiction of Congress, which terminated D.C. residents’ voting rights in 1801. In 1961, the 23rd Amendment restored these rights, allowing D.C. voters to choose electors for the Electoral College based on population, with a maximum of as many electors as the least populated state. With a current population of over 550,000 residents, 61-square-mile D.C. has three electoral votes, just like Wyoming, America’s smallest state, population-wise. The majority of D.C.’s residents are African Americans and they have voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates in past presidential elections.
