I did know that. We had a case up here in the late 1930's or early 40's. My dad told me the story about a day when he was a kid (the date was november 11th - they call it 11/11) where he went to school with no coat on because it was in the 60's. That afternoon the temps dropped and we got a blizzard. Many hunters that had gone out in light clothes were trapped so a pilot went up in a plane and dropped brandy to them in flasks to keep them warm. Well, they all died - maybe happy but they all died. They almost tossed the pilot in jail because they argued that his good deed hastened their deaths. A few years ago we had another November storm where we had straight line winds of 60 - 70 MPH. That too was on or around 11/11. It was the same type of storm that these hunters had and the same kind of storm that sunk the Edmund Fitzgerald. November can be a funky weather month in Packerland
