What October feels like
The last of the color drops and the high passes take their first storms — US 550 can go from dry to white in an afternoon this time of year. Down in the valley it's shirtsleeves at noon and frost on the windshield at dawn.
Expect about 7 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. about 19 nights dip below freezing.
