powderfreak Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Here's another shot I took this evening here at the Pit. Lots of stressed hills in GC. It will look a little out of place in tomorrow's forecasted 83* torch. There's something wrong with those trees if it looks like the picture shows...that's not supposed to look like that at that south a latitude at the end of August. I was in the icebox of NE VT the other day (they've had a couple nights in the 30s so far) and there was nothing remotely close to that picture...not even a fraction of that...and NE VT is always the earliest to change in this part of New England. Gods Country (well at least the Massachusetts version of GC) is a special place that continues to defy the laws of nature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 You have to keep in mind that the lighting in that pic was a really low sun on trees with shaded trees in the foreground. So they appear a lot more golden with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yes, I passed about 8 cars on the way home instead of the usual 5. City folk deal with thousands daily. I would be insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gods Country (well at least the Massachusetts version of GC) is a special place that continues to defy the laws of nature Temperatures this early in the season probably don't make that much of a difference. The trees are photosensitive as well so the sun angle has to decrease to a certain extent in order for the chlorophyll to die off and start the color change. Even if August was -2 instead of +2, you probably wouldn't see that many more trees changed despite a couple more nights having dipped into the 30s probably up there.

moneypitmike Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Unrelated, but did anyone else notice traffic today? Some of the worst I've ever seen. Clearly, both the cars and drivers are stressed. Local traffic-cam in GC today LOL at all the GC snow pics--what a hoot. You have to keep in mind that the lighting in that pic was a really low sun on trees with shaded trees in the foreground. So they appear a lot more golden with that. Thank you, Will. I think I made that point in both the initial post with that as well as in two other posts since. Geesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 80's, low humidity, shortened day to bask in it, strong breeze to keep the air flowing--"torch" just doesn't have the same ring to it did when you talked of June/July heat.
