 amount of rainfall, all of which occurred in the first seven days 

 of the month.

 resulting in many forest fires. 



The first general frost occurred on October 11. Temperatures 

 for the month weie normal; the number of degree days for the 

 month was 446, and the total accumulative degree days for the 

 heating season was 557.
