 On this day...
    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.
