Allenson Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nice shots. I had posted these over the weekend from Shelburne (MA, not VT) in the banter thread. Actually, the bottom two are looking at Vermont. I'm not sure if that's Mt. Snow on the left. We're less than 30 miles south of it, and that one looks more than 30 miles. Ideas? Looks good man. I don't know southern VT too well--but just had a gander at the topos of that area. Maybe what you're seeing is the ridge that Mt Snow is part of? Mt Snow is the northern peak of that ridge and Haystack, the southern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Finally starting to get some colors down this way, most are muted but there are some decent ones mixed in, couple pics from my properties today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The Green Mountains are no longer green... MWN is the high point in the center on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you call Kevin to grab those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I found these trees today in town at the Stowflake Resort and Spa back parking lot... you could see this row of red trees from a mile away. This is about as vibrant as anything I've seen yet this fall, these trees were like neon red. The fireworks continue to go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 After driving around yesterday, I'd say we're at peak and it's quite nice. Only notable observation I can make is that it's the sugar maples that are lacking around here this year... I'd guess 75% of them. There are several massive southern-live-oak sized sugar maples I know of that turn the most electric shades of orange and they're all this sickly yellow-brown color. The various cultivars of acer rubrum like the ones powderfreak posted above are all turning their standard electric red. It's a shame they have tiny leaves... wish they were more like the size of the sugar maples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny you should say that because I was thinking the same exact thing yesterday when I came across those in the parking lot. The vibrancy of color on those are unmatched this fall... if only we could fill a forest or hillside with those instead of quasi-landscaped areas around parking lots and buildings!

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Aside from the oaks, it looks like I have reached peak or just past peak driving around today. The color in the maples and birch have been ok. Feels chilly here btw, with the cloud cover. Fall for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
