5° on Nov. 13, 2019, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1893. Next is 9° in 1959.
Englewood’s center stands about 930 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 780 ft to 1,020 ft, a difference of 240 ft: rolling country.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 58×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 425 to 445 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.
Dolostone, limestone, shale. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Shale, dolostone, limestone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Shale, limestone. Age: Late Ordovician, 445 to 454 million years old. About 0.1 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Englewood reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Stillwater, the Great Miami, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,550 river miles.
970 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Englewood; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Englewood has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 86° in July; winter nights fall to about 22° in January. A normal year brings about 25 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 41 inches of water.
On November 14 Englewood normally reaches 53° and falls to 36°. The record high is 76°, in 1909; the record low 11°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 1.44 in, fell in 1993.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1893 from the Dayton Area threaded record (Dayton International Airport, 5 miles east-northeast). NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
