New England's famous foliage...hows it doing?

[vanman2300]

I know there is at least one of the members living up there right now and maybe one or two more. So if you are reading this please let me know if the leaves have started to turn, where, and at what stage. I'd be grateful for any info on this so I can plan to get up there before the trees are bare.

Second most dry September (.68”) on record in the Pocono’s and even worse drought in Mass and Ct. At least half the leaves are already on the ground and all will be down in 10 days or so.

Central Mass, here, North County. The colors are pretty spectacular, right now. But, more than half the trees are still green.

We've had a pretty dry September but got plenty of rain this summer. The foliage is supposed to be spectacular. So far it's not disappointing.

here's a "live" map that shows the foliage

Thank you for the map that's really handy and run well. I have to post some pics to it when I get them. Right now I'm in RI and it hasn't begun to turn yet except for the Burning Bushes have started to turn that brilliant red.

Central New Hampshire here, and the leaves are changing fast. We usually hit peak about the second weekend in October. The swamp maples are the first to change around here, so all the bogs and wet areas are looking real good. Up in the mountains they should now be reaching peak foliage.

No frost yet, but we have been getting close a few times. We did get heavy frost about thirty miles north a week ago, but nothing here yet. Today and tomorrow near eighty, great leaf peaking weather.

Yup, Pioneer Valley in WMass the same. Good color coming on now, I'd say peak here maybe in 2 weeks.

Wow. Haven't been up to Worcester since the 80s went I graduated from Assumption College. There's a lot of really nice quaint towns in that area.............

I'm also in the Poconos and were starting to get some real color here. At least half the trees are starting to change especially the Maples. We haven't had much rain but I guess enough here as I've not noticed much on the ground.

There is a big difference in climate in the Pocono’s. Milford is at 500 feet above sea level and Lake Harmony is 2000 feet above sea level. The difference in daytime high temperature is 5+ degrees.

reds are beginning to dull already here in Northern Vermont, yellows and orange are bright....thinking peak will be next week, hopefully the forecast rain will be light.

Lil Rhody, starting to pop, probably another couple weeks till peak, but I am no expert, but they are a changing.
