Upon after having the 90-100 degree days over the past weeks, it’s nice that the days after Labor Day are being true-to-form.
I scrambled to take care of a few clients that required some out-side work be done before the weather turned and I was able to make it on the Tuesday after Labor Day.
Now the temps are much lower. We’re seeing the Montana summer give way to the fall season without any (so far) sharp extremes.
What I mean by sharp extremes is that a few years ago, the weather turned so sharply that all of the green leaves on the trees froze hard. So much so that we didn’t have the gentle turning of the leaves from green to yellow/orange. The leaves froze, and fell later on as green leaves.
We may have one or possibly two days of the warmer 80-90 degree days, but for the most part our trend will be mid 60’s to mid 70’s for the duration of the fall season.
Logan Pass actually saw snowfall yesterday and I’m fairly certain that the going-to-the-sun road will close on schedule this year. As far as Logan Pass is concerned, it seemed to take a little longer this year to open the road due to the copious amounts of snow that needed to be cleared in the spring.
We had a rather long period of cool weather this year during the spring, so the snow stayed for a much longer period in the high country. The late melt caused many of the boat launches on Canyon Ferry lake to remain high and dry until later in the season.
Today we’re sitting at about 55 degrees and it’s 11 o’clock in the morning. Forecast 90 degrees for Sunday, but it’s going to cool off again right away after.
Though I’m not real big on getting the coolest fall pictures, I might stand somewhat of a chance to grab some with this new phone. Dumped the Android for an iPhone a while back so we’ll see how it all goes going forward.
I snapped a picture the other day of a rainbow over town and it turned out pretty good, so at least there’s some hope for more really cool pictures to come.
