DC weather history for November 14

An early-season cold snap in 1920 drove temperatures down to a record 19 degrees, part of a brief stretch of freezing nights before a soaking rain arrived.

On this day in 1920, the temperature fell to a calendar-day record of 19 degrees, the lowest on record so early in the cold season. It marked the third straight day with freezing low temperatures. The next day, a trace of snow fell ahead of a soaking rainstorm.
