Wow Spokane….get ready for a lot of rain..yuck.

Kev, the point is, the growing season is over in 95% of SNE. Nothing fake about that. No badge of honor, just a fact that it’s frosted. You have to let us know how you got 3.5” in a marginal snow event, in the early season, due to your elevation. That will melt away by afternoon. While we got a sloppy half inch to maybe an inch. Is that a badge of honor for you? I’ll say no, but it is what it is. Is that fake snow cuz only you/some folks, at a certain elevation got snow? You can’t buy a frost in October/early November, while the majority of the area has had 3-4. Just different microclimates. That’s all. But don’t try and lump in the majority of SNE into the NO frost category, because you haven’t had one.

It’s cool. Nobody is saying that. But most of SNE has had a frost . That’s a fact. He has not that is true. But his statement about many places not having a frost, is incorrect. That’s the only point.

Of course they have. Sure, there are a few places that have escaped so far, but 90% plus of SNE have frosted.

Yup. His ideas on these things are skewed badly. If he hasn’t frosted, then most haven’t frosted lol. I’d say 5 miles from the coast. We’ve frosted a few times, with a freeze too. Most places have frosted.

What downtown areas? Most away from immediate water, have frosted. I was downtown in my town at 2:00 am Sunday morning, and it was 30 degrees.

Other than that, The majority of the area …the growing season has been over for a while now.

I’m pretty sure most places have had a first frost, and some places(mine) a few times(freeze too) already. Your spot is not representative of the majority of SNE with regard to first frosts and freezes.

Absolutely. Guy is unreal. Hard to believe a guy can be that miserable. I absolutely abhor when he posts in our New England forum. Please, just stay in the NYC forum so we don’t have to see any of his trash.

Was gorgeous here…61 and sunny. Inland can have its advantages.

Yup, Sun’s weak now…and getting weaker by the day.

Weather and step down has been superb…picture perfect autumn so far. Last year was good also.

It won’t be your standard super Nino though…lots more in play…there will be surprises.

But the takeaway, are the bots getting it right more often? Or no?

Wow 74.1 there yesterday….impressive and very nice. We weren’t even close to that. About 68 here for the high.

Wow…everybody saying the same thing in New England about what a great foliage year. Nice picture.

Yes, Most agree it’s been a colorful autumn in SNE and NNE.

Stop looking for a while…and enjoy the gorgeous autumn weather for now. Check out for a bit.

For sure.

Yes, we’ve had tons of rain. I’m glad we dry out for a while. The break/boredom is welcomed.

Yup, this is the point, and of course there is variability depending on what trees there are, or that one has in their area. If you have alot of, or predominantly oaks where you live, it’s gonna be dull for the most part. If you have more maples and birches…then it will be so much more colorful. It doesn’t mean the foliage is a dull year(of course it can be some years), just means you don’t have the colorful trees in that area.

Yup, Looked like that on my drive yesterday.

Lmao…good color on maples a few weeks ago…? A few weeks ago they were f’n green. Big time Beer tonight?

I don’t make anything out…I say what I see. And why would anybody say it’s beautiful, if it wasn’t? I certainly wouldn’t. Now I guess one can say maybe I live in an area with alot of maples that provide good color. But as I said…drove down the shore yesterday, and it was stunning all the way down. Last year it ended up excellent too. I think more posters agree with me on this, than you. You live where there are alot of oaks…so color is duller where you are, so maybe that’s why you say it’s dull every year. No matter who you ask….they’re gonna tell you the color this year has been fabulous, because it has.

We go through this every year. The foliage on the drive from central CT down to the CT shoreline was just spectacular. Maybe up by the Mass/CT border it wasn’t as good? But that’s not the case here, and on the drive yesterday down to the south in CT, yet again.
