A change in the season has brought an immediate change to our weather, and I mean immediate. The last week of summer we had 90* or near 90* weather. But on Sunday, when the seasons officially changed from summer to autumn in the pre-dawn hours, we said goodbye to our sun and heat. Really amusing since Saturday was beautiful and about 87*! Sunday, however, was cloudy and we didn’t get out of the low 60s. It was as if summer was saying, “Haha! I’m not done yet!”
Yesterday continued this saga with rain. Lots and lots of rain. By the time all was said at done, we received 1.40″ (exactly) of rain at our house. Noah had to wait in his truck at a job site in Louisville for it to stop hailing so he could go inside without getting pelted. The high I saw in Boulder was 56* and lows were in the low 40s/upper 30s. While we got rain, the mountains got their second dusting of snow. They had their first snow of the season the last week of summer. If tradition holds (according to my sister & The Weather Channel) we should have our first snow in a couple of weeks…perhaps while we are enjoying sunny Southern California.
Today, is another sweater day, as was yesterday. However, we have be able to reach 60* and the sky has cleared to be mostly free of clouds. Maybe next weekend we can make it up to the mountains to take in the Aspens.
**Updated at 3:45pm** We now have a frost warning for tonight until 8:00am tomorrow morning, temperatures are expected to be in the mid-to upper-30s. I guess I should check on my tomatoes when I get home from work!
