OK, NWS had my spot at a 40% chance of 0.1 or greater, accomplished. That 10 minute squall dropped 0.2 inches (YES, I measured LOL) so will be a new snowfall record beating 1981's 'T'. Temp dropped from 40.0 to 35.4 and had two 33 mph gusts during. Still a light snow/flurries and 35.4/29.0. High was 42.0 around noon when the sun broke out for about 30 minutes. EDIT- that measurement was off the deck, don't even have the snowboards out yet!

Set a new daily rainfall with 1.06 inches. More than doubles the previous record (1983) of 0.42 inches. Currently 40.6/39.8 with some fog. Temp was stuck in mid/upper 30's all day, temp rose after midnight to the high (41) so not the first '30's' day of the season.

Currently 38.6/37.9 with rain falling, may not get to 40 today! About 3/4 inch of rain so far. Was 37.3 this morning with light rain falling, temp has barely moved, now THIS feels like late fall or early winter.

Set a new 'warm minimum' at 57.2 degrees, old mark was 55 from 1986. Currently it is mid-June/late August at 58.0/56.1 degrees with mostly cloudy skies at 7:45 am.... sheesh.

Overall averaged temp was 55.7 degrees vs a normal of 54.2 degrees, a + 1.5 degrees above average. Total rainfall was 0.61 inches vs a normal of 2.70 inches, a - 2.09 inches below average, and slides it into 3rd driest October ever, with only the incredibly dry 0.02 inches from 2000 and the 0.59 inches from 1991 beating it. There were 7 days with measurable, three days with a 'T' and 21 dry days. Greatest rainfall was on the 1st with 0.33 inches falling. Zero snowfall vs a normal of 0.1 inches. Highest wind recorded was 30 mph on the 15th. Two new records, a new 'cool max' set on the 17th and a 'warm minimum' set on the 1st. A sort of warm and VERY dry month. Records date back to October 1979.
