The Glenmore plate. Relief from Copernicus GLO-30; rivers and lakes from USGS NHD; watersheds from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; roads and city limits from Census TIGER 2024.
0° on Nov. 17, 1959, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1886. Next is 1° in 1933.
Glenmore’s center stands about 920 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 790 ft to 960 ft, a difference of 170 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Silurian, undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 50×. 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, 422 to 445 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Shale, dolostone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Glenmore reaches Lake Michigan by way of Bower Creek, the East River and the Fox River: about 20 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Often dry. About 60% of the way is mapped as streams that run only after rain or snowmelt; the water makes the whole trip in floods.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Glenmore; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Glenmore has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 81° in July; winter nights fall to about 11° in January. A normal year brings about 56 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 32 inches of water.
On November 14 Glenmore normally reaches 44° and falls to 30°. The record high is 65°, in 1958; the record low 3°, in 1916. The most rain on this date, 0.95 in, fell in 1956.
