November high temperatures were cooler than normal (5 degrees). Total rain for the month was 1.74" compared to an average for November of .94". So far this season, we're ahead of normal rainfall.
If you haven't dialed back the watering times on your controller, it's now time to cut back to 10 or 20% or even turn it off. There's plenty of moisture in the ground now as the weather has cooled.
