Railroad Creek Valley: October 1, 2009

The view of the Upper Railroad Creek Valley from "the third level."


Current weather conditions in the Railroad Creek Valley are as follows: Just gorgeous. Couldn't be better. Takes your breath away. Heavenly.


Translation: Sunny days. Starry nights with a currently full moon beginning to be on the wane. Temperatures in the day are warm and pleasant 50-somethings. Temperatures at night are high-30's to low 40's.

Snow is collected at higher elevations. It does not melt during the daytime hours now. No snowfall in the village as yet although the Annual Prediction of the First Snowfall Contest is off-and-running. (The winner gets to plan a dinner of choice.)

Foliage is beginning to turn to the brilliant fall colors. The golden larch at high elevations is very dramatic just now. Peak season for color at lower elevations still a couple weeks away.

Just gorgeous. Couldn't be better. Takes your breath away. Heavenly.

Love your description, Wanda. It appeals to all the senses. I wish I was there.
