  1. I will be posting ground and aerial shots of what I witnessed this morning. Coldest temp my car read was 33F by Price Lake. Anyway I think the foliage will do alright by Grandfather this year so long as there isn't too much blow down in the coming days. I don't think it will be a widespread blanket of peak color this year but there will be some photos to be had. I noticed a few areas in the distance with brownout ongoing, but still lots of green to change as well.
  2. I took a quick trip up very early this morning. Very frosty near Price Lake. Fall color was very patchy with moderate color just south of the Linn Cove Viaduct in a small area. I caught sunrise by that bridge and unfortunately two idiots were stopped on the road with their flashers on ruining the scene and also it was dangerous. I will make another attempt next week.
  3. I am hoping that progresses quickly before Tuesday when I plan a quick trip. I have seen foliage change rapidly in the northeast within a few days before. The weather has certainly been more favorable for that now. I plan on getting some aerials too (legal if you launch from a 221 pull off nearby).
  4. The Fall Foliage Guy suggests a peak around Grandfather Mountain between 10/15 and 10/20 or so. I plan on trying on Tue.
  5. Anytime peak is delayed you are in trouble foliage wise. There is still some hope but I am sure it will be a shortened season with higher leaf drop during the best colors. How many years in a row has it been lackluster now?
  6. Thank you and yeah that is what I am seeing in the reports as well.
  7. I think the Piedmont is going to brown out this year. Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain were the saving grace last year for at least some decent color when the mountains busted, but this year you can see the stress in the trees already. I am hoping Lynn Cove will be a worthwhile trip at some point.
  8. I am concerned about another dud in terms of foliage season. It may be a done deal wit the late heat and extended dry spell.
  9. The most dangerous aspect of this all is the forcing of government agencies to cover for Trump and his narcissistic personality disorder no matter how unhinged he is. A complete disregard for the truth propagated by agencies charged with protecting life and property is horrifying.
  10. Depending on the circumstances I would say yes. Depends on the purpose of the chase. I don't know what category Josh fits in. I know he would have the financial resources it seems for it.
  11. Nice! Welcome to Derecho season.
  12. Thank you. A closer view of the lightning:
