Falling straight into winter

In true Utah fashion, our fall season seems to have ended already. When September started, there was a sudden though undramatic drop in temperatures: instead of being in the 90s every day, temperatures stayed in the 70s and 80s through the entire month. It was lovely, and only just cool enough for the leaves in the higher altitudes (aka on the mountains) to start turning beautiful colors. Every day brought a little more red and orange and gold to the horizon.

Then, three days into October, we had a much more dramatic weather shift (because clearly, the weather follows the calendar). We dropped to temperature highs in the 50s and several days of rain and snow (!!). It supposed to be a little less wet and a little warmer this week, but I think winter is on its way in.

That didn't stop us from going up the canyon for a picnic though!





Thanks everyone for coming! I had fun, even if I was very very cold by the end of the night. We shall see what the next few weeks of "fall" have in store...
