Oct 15, 1922 - Some evidence suggests that much if not all of the snow actually melted on contact. St John's College observer said the snow was melting on the ground at 7am. At noon to 2pm, rain was observed but ECCC does not have rain in the Archives. From the observer notes it is not clear how much of the precipitation was rain vs snow. All this raises some questions about how much snow actually fell on this date.
Oct 9, 1924 - The 28.7 mm of rain/precip in the ECCC Archives actually fell on both the 8th and 9th in reality. Based on the observer notes retrieved at the Library and Archives of Canada in Winnipeg, at least 7.1 mm of this rain fell on the 8th, which means at most 21.6 mm of rain fell on the 9th, which makes it no longer a daily record.
Oct 10, 1949 - 77.2 mm of rain fell from 130am the 10th to 130am the 11th. Not exactly 06z-06z but closest calculatable. Originally 74.4 mm in EC Archives (730am-730am).
Oct 18, 1949 - 23.2 mm of rain fell from 130am the 18th to 130am the 19th. Not exactly 06z-06z but closest calculatable. Originally 28.7 mm in EC Archives (730am-730am).
Oct 20-21, 1949 - I changed the climate day to 130am-130am, the closest to 06z-06z I could calculate. Originally EC has 730am-730am climate day with 13.2 cm on the 20th instead.
