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.

Starting October here socked in the low clouds at my house. 51F. Got almost .20" of welcomed rain last night. Further north brought plenty of rain in September while areas a bit further south missed out. Today warm air lurks to the south. Will it make it in here later? First true fall cold air to move in soon to end the growing season for all. Perhaps the first flakes for some too??

It's October 1rst so going to start a new thread for the cold season

Month ends at 1.78". 1.15" fell on the 2nd. Colors are coming along. View from my road this AM

37.7F Plants get to live another few days

59.3F Partly sunny with cirrus patches. High was 67F at midnight and temps fell into the 50's by 5am. Tried all day to get back to 60F but looks like a fail.

Here is a map of C/NNE rainfall over the last 30 days. We had a nice soak on the first couple of days of September. If not for that the departures would be more severe. It's another world up towards PF and Alex.

September comes to an end in very dry Central NH. Finally it looks like some rain chances. Further north there has been more rain. I am 1.78" for the month but over an inch of that occurred around Sept 2nd. Picture of Pemigewasset River in Bristol NH area.

Just an fyi. With this new upgrade I can delete many picture attachments all at once. Nice

Loaded up the ebikes and headed north on this beautiful day. Foliage is around 10-15% in Central NH. Even in Franconia Notch as you can see it was still mostly green. Color increases rapidly north of there.
