I just got back from the Sierra and it was C-c-c-COLD!!! I hit the trail at 11:00am with a puff of wind and one cotton ball cloud, and 90 min later, there were 50MPH gusts on the ridge and the sky was 2/3 covered with gray/black clouds (I saw the biggest lenticular cloud that I have ever seen -- miles across)when my fingers turned blue, I decided to high tail it out of there at a full run. Back in the valley it was 73 degrees; on the ridge (9k) it was about 42 degrees. BRRRRRRR!!
