What October feels like
October gives up more genuinely rainy days than any other month here, which is the price of the best foliage in the state. Snow starts dusting the summits and the village empties after Columbus Day weekend; layers aren't optional if you're going above treeline.
Winter is doing its thing: 2.6 in of snow in a typical October, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 14 nights dip below freezing.
