Its SNOWING on October 6th WTF?!?!?!

So yes it is October 6th and it is snowing here. It isn't sticking right here but just about 1500 feet above us is. It is beautiful and I love the snow but it is so hard on the animals especially the horses to go back and forth from warm to cold, etc. Next week will be upper 60's and 70's but 30's at night. Pringle coliced this spring and since he wasn't impacted or anything my guess was just the crazy weather changes so now it makes me nervous. So I am watching them carefully!!! Its gonna change whether we are ready or not:)
