What September feels like
September is birch turning all at once — the hills above town go yellow in about a week and then the wind takes it. Aurora season is properly underway and the tour vans start running again; the first snow usually shows on the ridges before the month is out.
Winter is doing its thing: 2.3 in of snow in a typical September, with fresh snow on maybe one day. about 9 nights dip below freezing.
