BOARD OF ELECTIONS “PORTRAITS FROM ELECTION DAY" The Tompkins County Board of Elections has published a booklet with portraits of staff and poll workers from the 2024 General Election Day. The booklet celebrates the people who help make local elections possible and encourages the public to consider becoming a poll worker. A digital copy of the booklet is available on the Board of Elections website. Printed copies are available at the Board of Elections office at 128 E. Buffalo St, Ithaca. In Tompkins County more than 300 people are needed to work as election inspectors and operate the polls on Election Day. Poll workers are paid for their time, are needed for just a few days each year, and must be 17 or older and registered (or pre-registered if under 18) as a Democrat or Republican. If you are interested, contact the Board of Elections at (https://www.tompkinscountyny.gov/All-Departments/Board-of-Elections/Contact- Information). NOVEMBER U.S. CLIMATE REPORT FROM NOAA: Key Points:  The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was above-average with 18 named tropical systems, 11 hurricanes, five of which were major hurricanes. It will be one of the costliest seasons on record once a full evaluation of estimated cost has concluded.  Beryl, Debby, Francine, Helene and Milton each made landfall in the continental U.S. during 2024, tying for fourth place with 1893, 2004 and 2005. A record six landfalls occurred in 1886, 1985 and 2020. 3  The first significant lake-effect snows of the season began in late November and brought widespread snow accumulations of 1–3 feet across portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York state.  Following a very dry start to fall, the extent of moderate to exceptional drought across the contiguous U.S. was reduced by nearly 10.5% during November.  September–November and January–November were the warmest such periods on record for the nation.
