Alex and Diane are good people and we get another NNE poster too! All is good even though the SNE storm is not quite working out. Also great sunset possibilities for those on the western edge of the cloud shield later today

Just back from a quick trip up to Quebec City. Wow for NNE and Southern Quebec. Beautiful peak in the Whites and much of N VT all through the St Lawrence River Valley. Geraniums, marigolds and other annuals still in bloom in the city which of course is near the St Lawrence. I wish others could have taken the trip with us, just hours and hours of bright color. Peak seems to now be below 2500 feet in Franconia Notch. No wind the past couple of days so little blow down of leaves. Since we will not get much wind from the coastal Central NH is quickly becoming very colorful. About 50% in my area. Although it was cloudy by the time we got south into Franconia Notch it was still beautiful

What a day up here Quebec City. Sunny and 64 foliage peak. Enjoy your storm down there

Heading south from Quebec City right now will be back in the Lakes Region by 5 p.m. I'll report on the colour. Geraniums and annuals still growing Quebec City. Peak color.

Traveled to Quebec City today. Foliage is about 50% in the NW Lakes Region of NH. It increased to peak in Southern Whites and through Franconia Notch. Just north of the notch was just past peak. Most of the NE Kingdom of Vermont had good color, just past peak. Southern Quebec was at peak except along the St Lawrence River which still had a lot of green. Quebec City area along the river is not at peak yet. For those of you that have never been to Quebec City it is worth the drive. For me in Central NH it is 5 hours about 7 hours from metro Boston. A beautiful old city, everyone speaks French and you really feel you are in France. The exchange rate is $1 US to about $1.33 Canadian so things are cheap. Weather was perfect this afternoon. Sunny skies few Cu, low 60's.

Time sensitive. Check the sunset over much of New England

56.4F/56F Light rain. Temperature has dropped 6F past few hours. SW winds were gusty all morning but now still SW but very light. Guess front is through but would have expected a wind shift. Now just a cold, raw rainy day.

56.4/56 Light rain about .20" Temperature has fallen 6F over the past few hours. There was a gusty SW wind this morning but with the falling temperatures it's still SW but very light. Was that the front?

You lucky ducks down in SNE Rain and wind the past 5 hours. Miserable day but tropical warmth. 62/61F

62.7/61 Brisk SW wind gusting to 20mph. Tropical type rain showers.

I took a ride up to Franconia Notch today. Looks like peak to me. The heavy rain tomorrow should take down quite a few leaves. By next weekend I would think the mountains will be past peak. I'm still about a week away in the lakes region of NH.

33.7F at 2 meters but very heavy frost last night

About as clear as it can be over the Northeast US. Still very green around my area. Off topic but dozens of bluebirds in our backyard and eating apples on our trees. Must be passing through and heading south. Really nice to see.

31.7F up here on the hill. Wasn't sure we would make it.

Wish the winds were not so gusty today. Quite a bit of falling leaves in my area and I'm not near peak. Must have taken down a lot of peak color at elevation exposed to wind. The snow really never materialized in the higher Whites either. I'm sure the colors will still be very good this weekend but it could have worked out better.

Did anyone post this video today? Quickly went back and didn't see it. Looked like rotation to me, watch just before it comes over the house.

45.7/40F ( can't find any reporting station lower in New England right now) Light rain shower began 20 minutes ago. Started out with some fairly large drops mixed with some ice pellets. I wasn't going to post it since you guys probably would think I was nuts but I see Mt Washington is reporting IP too. Guess if drops were big enough they could fall through 5000 feet of 40's without totally melting?

Things must have really changed fast this past week since Alex's pic's on the Kanc show great color. Franconia Notch was so green last Friday. Columbus weekend comes very late this year so most of the peak will be gone in the mountains especially if we get a heavy rain event on Monday. Next week looks to have peak in my area of Central NH. GFS has a fropa next weekend with more rain to screw up Columbus weekend. That will take down more leaves. Does anyone know how busy it is going through Franconia Notch on a peak color weekend? Is it stop and go or does it move along. Probably worth a 40 minute ride up

Could be an epic weekend for foliage photography in NNE. Snow above treeline with near peak foliage. If skies are blue everything could come together. 44.7F Overcast wood burning stove keeping house warm

Snow tonight in the high Whites. Near peak foliage this weekend. With blue skies, could be an epic weekend for the leaf peepers.

58.2F with north wind. Definitely a raw feel with overcast skies. It's coming guys.....

More OT news. Bernie Sanders is in the hospital after chest pains yesterday. Had to put 2 stents in artery. He should be ok 60F sprinkles but blue breaks to north. About .15" last night. High was 65.7F at 530am

Loving today's warmup. 55.5F at 145pm. Been in the low clouds all day with 1/4 vis but base is rising and is right at house level. Skies are brightening so temp should jump shortly

Loving today's warmup. Up to 55.5F at 145pm. CAD rules

At least you get 12-18 hours. It's 1245pm and Im up to 53.6F. Let's see if the 70F forecasted high comes to fruition. CAD always wins for me.
