Snowed a couple times last week in NoCo at 10K. We've had a good frost with ice on the windshield at 8500.
People ask about "September weather" and what to expect....

Jaq -- people wonder about "September weather" ... sounds like people wondering why tomatoes don't grow in Laramie. Hmm ... I wonder!
I think we've got one more hot spell left, but it's sure taking its time. Word has it that our area has the coldest summer since 2000. Certainly the wettest August in a while. If these rains keep up, it'll be a repeat of the Monsoons of 2013.
If that doesn't make people concerned, I guess they weren't in the hills in 2013!

The rains in 13 were relentless. Many a showers we hid under a spruce till the rain subsided. I am guessing if the temps are cooler the elk will move more then when it's warm.
A few maple trees in Mn are turning already. We just got 7" of rain here last night.

Where I live a cool summer means it's sure to be 105 in October with mosquitos the size of hummingbirds.

huntabsaro ... depends on where you come in from. Do the same thing as you did before, and you'll be fine. Follow my other (old PM) instructions, and you'll probably want 'em if you have 'em. Of course, who knows what it'll do? It might be hot and dry by then -- but I just heard of snow at 8200' in the last few days. Not much -- but any is a lot in August!

'13 was a lot of fun....and we were way south of the onslaught. Spent a lot of time drying gear that year.
