So, no snow on the ground for Halloween, that might be  good news for some,  but overall, October 2007 will go down in the books as a  mild but wet  month. 

There was a new record high temperature set,  that was on the  24th, when the  temperature hit  17.8 degrees,  beating the old mark of 15.6 set in 1982.

Prince George had more rainfall than is  normal for October, and less snow.

Here are the details as presented by Environment Canada's Jim Steele:

An interesting month in the weather business as it began on a cool wet note for the first week then followed by a mild spell between the 10^th and the 15^th .

Conditions cooled dramatically on the 18^th and remained cool and wet through the 22^nd. Mild air arrived accompanied by heavy rains and winds for the 23^rd. This was in fact the wettest and the warmest period of the month. 

The last week saw temperatures fall back to near normal values with more rain to top off the monthly totals.

Speaking of totals, rainfall was well above normal with 2 really wet days making the month somewhat soggy. The 22^nd saw 22.8 mm while the 28^th saw 19.0 mm. These 2 days combined with the on again off again rainfall push the monthly total to 76.1 mm, well above the typical 57.9 mm.

On the positive side, there was only a trace of snow recorded at the airport, well below the normal 8.4 cm.

In the record books, a mild but wet October.
