Fall Foliage Update


Today is the first full day of Autumn. The season began yesterday at 5:18pm local time with the Autumnal Equinox. Nature is already responding to the change of seasons. I've noticed patchy fall colors begin to appear on the trees in the area. The normal peak time for fall colors for the region typically arrives around the first two weeks of the month of October before the leaves become a dry and lifeless brown. With October just around the corner and the decrease in daylight in the days to come along with the chilly fall temperatures nature is beginning to display her stunning hues. As of the 24th of September most New England and the eastern Great Lakes have been reporting patchy colors on the trees with near peak conditions across extreme northern New England and in to the Mohawk Valley and Adirondacks in New York.
