244 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
The month of October was too wet for harvesting corn, and 
in many places the crop was considerably damaged. 
The most phenomenal storm of the season was the snow 
storm of November 26-27th, which gave about one foot of 
snow on a level and produced drifts of from six to eight feet 
deep. Roads were blocked for three days, greatly delaying 
travel. 
Through the kindness of the New England Meteorological 
Society we are able to publish the rainfall records from ten of 
their stations in Connecticut. Table 48 gives the rainfall as 
recorded for the six months ending October 31st for twenty- 
one localities in the State, and Table 49 
observations made by the Station at Storrs. 
gives the summary of 
TABLE 48.— Rainfall during six months ending October 31, 1898.
