The last reliably hot days of the year passed by us this week. The calendar is drifting into September, a special and uncertain month in Colorado. There’s a quick tumble into shorter days and longer nights. The clouds building behind the mountains already seem to be in a hurry to dump the rain they carry so they can prepare for months of distributing snow across the front range of the Rockies.
The coming days might be hot; some probably will be. Equivocation will fill the long range forecast. Don’t plan anything outdoors, it will warn, not without a backup plan. Another month, and it will be upon us. A time of fire pits, warm jackets and hoodies, and cold noses that might brush against your cheek if you are very lucky. The best part of the year is ahead of us. I can’t hardly wait.
