Pueblo observed a total of 2.51 inches of precipitation which was 2.04 above normal. The previous November precipitation record for Pueblo was 2.48 inches set back in 1991.
Also of note, Pueblo saw 46% of its annual snowfall with contributions from the storm in just a single month. Snowfall for the month was 9.0 inches above normal with a total of 13.1 inches for November.
