Happy Fall!!

This picture was taken this morning, the first day of Autumn (according to Wikipedia). There was even more snow on the last day of summer.

But tomorrow, it's supposed to be 58 degrees so it'll all be gone.

Four years ago this time, I was planning an outdoor wedding in less than two weeks. How stressed would I have been if the weather had been like it is this year?

According to Aspen SkiCo, the mountains got 13 inches yesterday. For the first time in its 28 year run, the Golden Leaf Half-Marathon, scheduled for today, was cancelled and Independence Pass closed last night, the earliest since I've lived here. I don't know if it's closed for the season or not.

It'll be interesting to see how the ski season plays out. Not sure there's much connection between early season snow and how good the ski season is. But, it certainly adds to the optimism.
