70° on Nov. 11, 1964, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1893. Next is 70° in 1999.
Kellnersville’s center stands about 830 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 760 ft to 930 ft, a difference of 170 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Cherneyville Hill, about 1,020 ft, 14 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Silurian, undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 49×. 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 23 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Kellnersville reaches Lake Michigan by way of Kriwanek Creek and the West Twin: 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 30% 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 Kellnersville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Kellnersville has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 77° in July; winter nights fall to about 14° in January. A normal year brings about 35 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 31 inches of water.
On November 14 Kellnersville normally reaches 44° and falls to 31°. The record high is 70°, in 1999; the record low 9°, in 1916. The most rain on this date, 1.41 in, fell in 1957.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1893 at Manitowoc, 12 miles southeast, 250 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
