October 2022 was a very nice Fall month for Galeton. The foliage was the nicest in years. By mid month Indian Summer had arrived. The mornings for the most part were cool and many frosty mornings. I recorded  a cold 22 degrees on the 30th.  The first Fall frost was on the 10th with a 31 degree reading.  West Pike had 30.6 on the 3rd. 

Lawn mowing kept on full tilt all month. Perhaps it will continue until Thanksgiving or later. The average high temperature is 57 degrees and the average low is 37 degrees.

I measured 1.04″ of rain for the month. Last year the reading was 5.14″ Normal rainfall is 3.78″  This year was the lowest rainfall recorded in October since 1994. That year the amount was 0,93″.It is a very dry year thus far. Pine Creek is about the lowest in my memory.  It will be quite some time before the lake will be full of water.

We had seven foggy mornings. A few of those mornings the fog was very heavy.
