Ha, this time of year you need to get over 1,500ft-2,000ft to enter winter. Living above 3,000ft would be a trip.... just snows relentlessly in the winter. A lot of QPF throughout the year.
Living down here at 750ft on the valley floor though, we just have our big temperature swings to hold on to.
9F drop in the last hour and 14F drop in the last two hours... warmth just vacates as fast as possible in the valley as soon as the sun goes down.
