77° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1917. Next is 75° in 1949.
Woodstock’s center stands about 1,050 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,000 ft to 1,160 ft, a difference of 160 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Bald Knob, about 1,430 ft, 12 miles northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Tymochtee and Greenfield Formations, Undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 428 to 445 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.

A raindrop that lands in Woodstock reaches the Gulf of America by way of Hay Run, Big Darby Creek, the Scioto, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,760 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 Woodstock; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Woodstock has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 85° in July; winter nights fall to about 21° in January. A normal year brings about 24 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 40 inches of water.
On November 14 Woodstock normally reaches 52° and falls to 34°. The record high is 73°, in 1971; the record low 12°, in 1920. The most rain on this date, 1.32 in, fell in 1972.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1917 at Marysville, 14 miles east. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
