The quiet weather of September continued through October this year. There was no severe weather in southern Indiana and central Kentucky in October, and the only thunderstorm-related damage was a couple of trees blown down in Madison County on the 9th.

Cool air coming in from Canada combined with cloudy skies and light rain led to record cold high temperatures in the mid 50s on the 3rd.

The first widespread frost of the fall season took place over the weekend of the 17th-18th, which is right about when the first widespread frost normally occurs.
