REMARKS. 



The weather for the month has been characteristic of the season, 

 although some departures from normal conditions were noted. 



The large precipitation was the most noteworthy feature, the 

 amount being about one and two-thirds the October average rainfall. 

 The rains were quite generally distributed throughout the month. 

 The relative humidity was also unusually high. The mean barome- 

 tric pressure was nearly normal with about the usual range. 



The mean temperature was over a degree above the average owing 

 to several very warm days at the beginning of the month. 



Notwithstanding the large amount of rain the amount of sunshine 

 was about up to average conditions. The wind movement was 

 about normal, and although the number of gales was large there 

 were none of any marked severity. 



The first heavy frost of the season occurred on the 7th, followed 

 by several others at intervals of a few days. 



The apple crop has been generally harvested and the yield is re- 

 ported as light. Much of the autumn foliage has fallen during the 

 mouth and many of the trees are already denuded. 



Most of the farm work of the season has progressed favorably.
