"The Turn"

[rideit]

Mt. biking on freshly fallen aspen leaves yesterday...

[::: :::]

there are still forecasts with high 90s around PDX...looking at 100 next Tues
that's not even NORMAL summer

while i'm looking forward to the turn, I still have an un-roofed building in my yard so I'm kinda hoping it stays dry through September

[babybear]

have used my seat heaters almost every morning the past wk

Jealous. I'm still riding to work in sandals and keeping the pace mellow so I don't arrive too sweaty.

Im ready for the massive influx of tech talk threads/posts. As well as Flowing Alpy's increased number of recommendations.

Got in a quick mtn bike ride today before the smoke rolls back in. In spite of the heat, some of the underbrush is starting to Turn.

Having to sweater up for dark nights at the skate park is a welcome change

[doebedoe]

Drinking red wine and watching A Skiers Journey series. Must be the turn. Or just a Thursday.

Elk bugling, snow in the forecast for Saturday.
Oh Vey.

Short of a probable indian summer I think it's here. Have been letting my place self regulate for the last week and a half… leaves are starting to fall...

Wife just showed me a tweet from Aspen, Maroon Bells with a dusting.

Lots of yellow and gold amongst the trees on the drive up to Breckenridge from Denver this past weekend, it was all green when I made the drive 3 weeks ago.

Snow forecasts are affecting my bike plans for the weekend...must be the turn

[liv2ski]

I think we may have hit it down south in San Diego. Temperatures have finally come down into the foreseeable future. That means mid 70s at the beach

[BCMtnHound]

Giving the hound a nice full back scratch in the morning, and only a few guard hairs come out the past couple of days. No undercoat fluff. She knows...

[stuckathuntermtn]

the heat finally broke. Tried to ride but my dog is all gimpy and out of shape
Also, I think there are Red Flag warnings and Winter Storm Warnings in some of the same counties in Montana.

Everyone: "Droughts, fires, floods, hurricanes. I don't think this weather could get any crazier."

Larry's boots in Boulder is open for the season, and I'm seeing more geese ... all this, in spite of the daytime highs still being in the 80's, down here at 5K feet.

Still on track for Sunday into Monday with the possibility of snow in the Cascades. The turn is nigh!

LONG TERM...Previous discussion...As we`ve been advertising, a
front and upper trough will bring a return of rainy weather to
Western Washington late in the weekend. Models agree pretty well on
timing now, showing precipitation spreading to the Cascades crest by
late Sunday afternoon. The upper trough will follow the front into
the region on Monday, so it looks like a fairly wet day as well. At
this point it looks like total rainfall Sunday through Monday will
be mainly in the range of half inch to an inch across the Western
Washington interior lowlands, with a bit more at the coast and in
the mountains. It still looks like the snow level will fall from
around 8000 ft Sunday to 6000 ft Monday.

It's definitely here in Seattle, notably yesterday morning. Cool mornings and dry rattly leaves overhead.

For me, there are two parts to The Turn.
1) When, as now, it is clear that summer is on its last legs.
2) When the first dark and melancholy storm begins to blow.

The first is here, and we're almost ready for the second. Hello, autumn, we've missed you.

Cold enough outside right now to wear jeans, shoes and long sleeves instead of a t-shirt, shorts and chacos like all summer... and it snowed up high in the Wasatch this morning
