I was there only once in May, so can't speak about seasonal variations. By "cold air", I don't mean in an absolute sense, but in a relative way. As long as the night is clear and there is no synoptic weather to make it breezy (say an approaching trough kicking up a SW breeze), I would expect the effect would not have a strong seasonal component. If the weather is clear and stable, you're gonna get that katabatic flow every night. \Brian --- This message is from the AZ-Observing mailing list.
