The average current high temp. drops from 72° in Sept. to 58° in Oct. and the low drops from 46° to 33°. The Septembers that did survive a killing frost (38 did) will quickly succumb to it in October.

All in all, the first half of October is a very pleasant month regarding temps. and at times extends will into the last half of the month.

Precip. average drops from 2.07 in Sept. to 1.60 in October with a good possibility of snow by the end of the month.

Below freezing temps. are common in night time readings from the middle to the end of the month.
