Iowa State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says the month of November ended up a dry one in all aspects of weather records.

Hillaker says it was just the eighth November in 131 years of records where the state averaged just a trace of snow.

Hillaker says drier and warmer conditions were part of the reason for the lack of snow.

Hillaker says you probably are noticing your heating bills for the month were up quite a bit from last year as the temperatures returned to normal after the record warm month last year.
