What to pack

What November feels like

November piles on snow faster than any other month, and the light disappears in a hurry. Locals switch to headlamps for the dog walk, and the aurora becomes a nightly possibility rather than a special occasion.

Winter is doing its thing: 12.5 in of snow in a typical November, with fresh snow on about 11 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
