A few thin high clouds at times early this afternoon, otherwise sunny and a little warmer than yesterday. Highs in the mid 60s.

Question: Was there ever snowfall on record for the month of October here in Raleigh NC?

Answer: Climate records from the Raleigh-Durham airport do not show any snowfall in October, with the earliest trace of snow there reported on November 2nd, 1954, while the earliest measurable snow there was on November 6th, 1953, when .6" was recorded. A different station in Raleigh with a much longer period of record did record a trace of snow as early as October 24th, back in 1910.
