The average temperature was +1.0, 3.5 degrees below normal.
Bill Laidlaw of Signal Weather Services says it was the fourth coldest October on record.
Previous lows were +0.9 in 1939, -0.5 in 2002 and -0.9 in 1917.
Laidlaw says the high temperature last month was +16.6 on the 9th and the cold day was -10.5 on the 30th

Laidlaw says 15.6 of that came on one day on October 12th.

The mercury could hit as high as +11 on Tuesday.
