Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
In 1936 The temperature at Layton NJ dipped to 9 above zero to
establish a state record for the month of October.
In 1971 A severe early season blizzard raged across the Plateau
Region and Rocky Mountain Region. Heavy snow blocked
railroads and interstate highways, and record cold
accompanied the storm. Lander WY received 27 inches of
snow, and the temperature at Big Piney WY plunged to
15 degrees below zero.
In 1987 Thunderstorms over the San Joaquin Valley of California
produced 0.75 inch of rain in thirty minutes at
Placerville, and caused numerous power outages due to
lightning. Rain began to diminish in the northeastern
U.S., but some flooding continued in Vermont, eastern New
York State and northern New Jersey. One inch rains in
Vermont clogged culverts and sewers with fallen leaves,
resulting in erosion of dirt roads.
In 1988 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S. Valentine NE
dipped to 8 degrees, and Cutbank MT reported a morning
low of one degree above zero. The temperature at Estes
Park CO dipped to 15 degrees, but then soared thirty
degrees in less than thirty minutes.
In 1989 A storm crossing the western U.S. produced 10 to 20
inches of snow across northern and central Wyoming, with
22 inches reported at Burgess Junction. Seven cities in
the Lower Ohio Valley and the Upper Great Lakes Region
reported record high temperatures for the date as
readings again warmed into the 70s. Alpena MI reported
a record high of 75 degrees.
In 2013 A major Atlantic storm pummeled England, France, Belgium,
Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark, killing at least
13 people. Fallen trees blocked rail lines and roads
across southern England. Widespread power outages were
noted, with winds near 100 mph recorded on the Isle Of
Wright, off the southern coast.
