On this day in ..
    • 1859 - New York City records its earliest significant snow (4 inches.)
    • 1886 - New York City ends it longest dry streak at 40 days.
    • 1919 - The temperature at Bismarck ND plunged to a numbing -10 degrees, the earliest subzero reading on record for that station and the coldest ever recorded in October.
    • 1926 - 15 inches of snow fell on Barrow AK, which was a record for the date. The melted equivalent of that snow equaled 1.0 inch, which was the most melted equivalent precipitation ever recorded on any date in Barrow up until that time. It was a record that would stand until 1987.
    • 1962 - Parts of Maine and Massachusetts record their heaviest early season snows of record. 13.9 inches fell at Greenville, ME.
    • 1987 - 2.70 inches of rain fell in just one hour at Lake Charles LA, causing widespread flooding.
    • 1989 - All sorts of records across the Upper Midwest. Several stations recorded new high temperature marks for the date. The 80 at St. Cloud MN was just one of several readings that were the warmest of record for so late in the season. The morning low of 63 at Omaha NE was the warmest morning low of record for so late in the season.
    • 1990 - Coastal storm produces wind gusts to 90 mph along the North Carolina coast. Thousands were stranded on Hatteras Island as a breakaway barge destroyed a 369 foot section of the Bonner Bridge, the only link between the island and the mainland.
    • 1993 - 87 at Eureka CA was enough to set an all-time record high for the city.
    • 1998 - Hurricane Mitch ties Hurricane Camille (1969) as the fourth strongest Atlantic Hurricane of record when Air Force Reconnaissance found a central pressure of 905 mb, a Category 5 hurricane. Mitch would stay a Category 5 longer than any other Atlantic Hurricane on record: 33 hours. The central pressure of 905 mb is also the lowest pressure ever observed in an October hurricane in the Atlantic basin. Prior to Mitch, the strongest measured hurricane in the northwest Caribbean was Hurricane Haiti in 1961 with a central pressure of 924 mb. Maximum sustained winds in Mitch reached 180 mph.
