SUMMARY: As we approach next weekend, cold air is expected, prompting discussions about snowfall in November in the St. Louis area. November serves as a transitional month from warm to cold weather, with notable early snowfall events. The earliest measurable snow occurred on October 20, 1916, while the first inch or more fell on November 5, 1951. Typically, November snowstorms start with cold rain that can turn into wet snow as temperatures drop—sometimes leading to significant accumulations. Noteworthy storms include the 2018 snowfall and the historic ice and snowstorm of November 30, 2006, highlighting the month’s unpredictable weather patterns.

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.
