What September feels like

The first half of September is glorious and the second half is mostly shut: services wind down around mid-month and the road closes behind them. Snow on the peaks and gold on the tundra at the same time is the picture people come for, and almost nobody is there to share it.

Winter is doing its thing: 5.0 in of snow in a typical September, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 16 nights dip below freezing.
