Here in Jamestown, New Mexico, we can tell when autumn is just around the corner when the nighttime temperatures start creeping into the low 50s or high 40s. That is exactly what is beginning to happen.
The temperatures this week at night are within those ranges although the daytime temperatures are still in the upper 70s to the low 80s.
Officially, the autumn equinox arrives on September 22, just 10 days away. It seemed that summer whisked by pretty fast.
This all means that it will not be long when the nighttime temperatures begin creeping into the 30s, sometimes into freezing temperatures (32° and below). That is when I have to winterize the RV so that the plumbing and holding tanks don't freeze up.
It is also not unusual for snowfalls arriving in October.
Well, summer was fun while it lasted.
