Normal fall


Maple tree finally changing and dropping, one week late


A small patch of warm weather inspired some more broccoli shoots

After weeks of rollicking crazy rainstorms in October, things have settled down the last week. Bangor in October 2005 recorded the single wettest month (ever, of any month) since records have been kept. The previous all-time wettest month was just two years ago in October 2003:

PRECIPITATION (INCHES)
RECORD
MAXIMUM 8.96 2003
MINIMUM 0.99 1986
TOTALS 13.32R

As you can see, the old record month was bested by nearly 5 inches in 2005.
