Last Saturday, 9/7, I was up in the Sawatch Range (backbone of the
Rockies) and saw some of the 14000' peaks get a light (but definite)
dusting of new snow late in the day.  Far as I know, it was the first
snow of the new season.  In the days since then weather reports have
said 3-6" of snow fell in some areas, e.g.  the Elk Range (Maroon Bells,
etc.).

Indications are that this winter is coming a little early, but it's hard
to say.  First-freeze dates are often a good indication; we'll know
about those in the coming weeks.  Aspen trees are already about 30% into
gold in the higher elevations.  Camping will be bitter cold in the
mornings and on windy days, but good hiking (barring overcast skies)
will continue for about a month yet -- still time to do some Fourteeners.

According to news reports, this is "the weekend" coming up for viewing
the Aspen change -- about two weeks earlier than usual.
