Say “It isn’t so”

Columbine

The saying goes “if you don’t like the weather in zone 4 just wait 10 minutes and it will change”.  A cold front is moving into the Front Range bringing an abrupt end to the growing season. All while we are still enduring high summer temperatures.  It’s not unusual for this to occur in zone 4 but not until late October or early November.  This epic news has initiated a scramble to bring in pots of flowers, pick vegetables and drain water hoses as temperatures fall below freezing from the mid 90’s in a 24 hour period.  The moisture will be well received in the high country and aid in controlling several fires that are still raging.  Weather patterns continue to change and have a profound effect.  Being prepared for the unknown is becoming our new normal.
