Almost 20 larger cities in the West shivered through the coldest October in their history.
Among these included Rapid City, South Dakota; Spokane, Washington; Pocatello, Idaho; and Grand Junction, Colorado.
Spokane, Washington, smashed its previous record cold October from 1905.
More than two dozen other cities had one of their top three coldest Octobers.
Only October 1919 was colder in Salt Lake City. At that time, Utah had only been a state for 23 years and Woodrow Wilson was in his second term as U.S. President.
Portland, Oregon, had its third-coldest October, and the chilliest since 1949.
