HOUSTON, Sunday. — An overcast sky is the word from the Houston station, with a high of 6° and a low of -2°. Count it a gift: 3° above the November average of 3° for these parts. Barely a breath of wind stirs from the SSE, gusting to 33 km/h, and the glass is rising, a sign of settled weather.

Looking over the next 2 days, our correspondent reckons today the pick at about 6°, while Monday night will be the coldest at -2°. Not a drop is expected in that time. Those keeping stock should see to the water troughs, for ice is likely.

For travellers weighing a journey, the Almanac shows a typical November in Houston brings highs near 3°, lows of -3° and about 51 mm of rain over the month. July is the warmest month here at 22°, January the coldest at -10°, and October the wettest with 54 mm. Snow usually lies on the ground from November to March. The best months to ride in are August and May.

The sun is up 8 h 55 min today, and the days are shortening by about 4 minutes each. The station stands 1,041 m above the sea; nights in high country cool fast once the sun is down.
