I know the calendar still says Summer, but I think for most of us on the great Pacific Northwest Coast, we would see the Labour Day Weekend as the recognition of Fall.

The Battle Between Talisker and PCMR Heats Up

Aug 29, 2013 — Dennis Hanlon, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

Fall has certainly arrived in the Wasatch with cloudy cool and rainy weather for the past week. Along with this the trees have turned earlier this year than is normal.

Pretty much every day I'm seeing flocks of geese heading south. Of course we all take this as a sign that we're going to have a terrific winter with lots of snow. No, the mountain doesn't know it's only August
