Aspens Near Cloudcroft & Cold This Morning.

- October 10, 2017

We came upon this scene Saturday afternoon between Cloudcroft and Sunspot in the southern Sacramento Mountains. Some of the Aspens had already dropped their leaves, some were just starting to turn, and some were at their peak. Kind of a mixed bag this year but still beautiful.

A rather tranquil weather pattern is shaping up locally over the next week to ten days. Overnight low temperatures tonight will be similar to this mornings readings. Maybe a couple of degrees colder in some spots. We warm up going into the rest of the week and weekend then another cold front drops our temps back down a little by next Monday and Tuesday. Then back up into the 80's again. This time of the year we can and often do take a roller coaster ride (up and down) temperature-wise.
