I was well north but webcam mic picked it up. About 15 seconds into this clip. Set the blue jays off https://video.nest.com/clip/dace83ddf8c64c4abdaff623ff511437.mp4

Looks like the peak is just slightly south of you looking at the webcams and photos. Just grabbed this picture of Waterville Valley. About as much color as you can get. I made no adjustment to the webcam picture. I am at around 40% color. Peak here should be around Tuesday. It's a great year with little wind and rain as mountains peak. People say frost brings on color but maybe because we have not had any frost there are little browns?

It's a crowd on top of the Rock Pile. 47F with a 9mph wind with peak colors in the Whites is about as good as it gets for Columbus Day Weekend foliage and weather. Low clouds have moved in south of the Whites

Tamarack, Hope you are feeling better. I wonder if there has been studies of temperature differences just in the first 3 feet above the ground? Maybe it drops off so much that a 37 at 2 m can be a 31 a couple of inches off the ground. That is what had to have happened.

Foliage is around 10-15% here but the pace is just starting to pickup. I may of asked this question but does anyone know the latest date into the fall that NNE has gone frost free? Usually frosts come in drips and drabs depending on location so it is not something kept in the record books. It looks like no frosts in the next week or more. When it comes it could be one large region wide event from the Canadian border to the seacoast. It will be interesting to see how it plays out since there is no other weather going on. Just COC weather on and on....

Here is precip for the past 60 days. The haves and have nots... I'm in that light green that goes through central areas.

.16" last night pond continues to be empty. Amazing how many rainfalls have missed to the south this year.

I don't think today will be the day but one day not that far away there is going to be a life changing geomagnetic storm that will have huge consequences for our daily living.

Just saw this. This site is way too fast. We are not near peak, not even close. Perhaps 10% color

Good to know. With a nice stretch of good weather mid and late week perhaps a good portion of the Whites just south of you will be at peak.

Finally some breaks at 5pm. Last year on September 25th I visited you and Bretton Woods was right at peak. How far away would you guess is peak this year?

Alex, that is so cool with the electric. last fall I traded in my Prius for the RAV4prime electric plug in. i have been getting 50 miles total electric before it switches to hybrid. It is all wheel drive and that is what I need. I want the F150 lightning electric coming out in the spring. Weatherwise has anyone had a frost yet? Looking forward there doesn't look like any frost chances next week. It's getting unusually late. Does anyone know what the latest frost date has been for most of NNE? Brian, thanks for the DOT feedback. I wish they would add a cam to that site.

Nice snowy day on the Rock Pile. 28F with snow showers at 1pm

Brian, I just went on the PSU site to check. I see the new Littleton one but not in Jefferson. Am I missing it somehow? Do you have the link you use?

Yeah, I started up the stove too this morning. Was going to let it go out but at only 54F and mostly cloudy I just put another log in

Rain is over for this event. 1.37". About .25" over the past 2 days before the main event this morning

My peak is around October 18th. Every year is so different. I think the best peak was 2016. Everything peaked at once and it was brilliant. Here is a drone video around our property from that day. As you can see it was very dry, does drought help? I don't know. A big factor is how much wind precedes peak. If it is windy, day after day as individual trees reach peak the leaves are blown right off.

No northern New England animal really bothers me except these guys. One tried to attack me years ago. I do have to say that last night "was a marvelous night for a moon dance" Their singing is a bit off however https://video.nest.com/clip/99ae314d86ba4318a81dd9b55bd1e83a.mp4

I think Northern Maine had a frost advisory

Fantastic day today. So far this fall my low has only been 48F. A year ago right now I had several nights of mid 30's which really got the colors going. Peak foliage was occurring in Alex's area on Sept 27th. It was a very quick, vibrant peak. Here is a drone video of Bretton Woods and Alex's Moose Lodge on that day.

Alex, I am around 80% of average for the past year. So if I get 45" that is around 9" below. Of that, 11" was in July and lots of that was quick runoff so I have to take some of that away too. I don't know how unusual 20% more or less of yearly precipitation is? Maybe some one with more knowledge of New England precip can chime in? It seems over the past several years I am constantly whining about lack of qpf. Even last winter except the big Dec 12th storm I didn't have a snowfall more than 4 or 5". 2.25" so far this month with another dry week coming up. Okay, rant ova!

.23" yesterday with weakening thunderstorms and light rain in the evening. Over the last year it has been a tale of two cities, well regions. Very wet in SNE and very dry in NNE. In my region of CNE the past year would be way, way below average if not for the 11" in July. Below is the % above or below average for the past 365 days.

68/63 Light thunderstorm in progress Line of storms weakened significantly just west of me. Some wind gusts to 20mph. Light rain. About .06" still raining and many more lighter echoes to the west. I will take all the water that Mother Nature gives me. Been quite dry since August 1

76/69F Just about constant thunder to my northwest. I have 3 web cams. 2 at my house and a new one at my friend's house at 1500 feet. Looks directly west across Newfound Lake. Should see a nice shelf cloud come over the lake soon www.bridgewaternhweather.com

.58" for this last rain event. Brings me up to 2.02" for the month and 3.59" since August 1rst. Everyone south of me and complain of endless excessive rain but sure not here. I hope when SNE finally gets into a dry pattern it is not compounded up here with us going from fairly dry back to drought.
