Wow look at the tree difference in WeatherMA's photos vs the Coventry one. Coventry has no leaves on any trees on Oct 30 while lower Worcester looks like it still had a great deal of foliage.

Honestly...when I saw Coventrys I immediately went to look at mine. The difference is incredible just with a little elevation. Not only that, but the year to year difference as well. This year the foliage outside my window right now probably looks about what it looks like in those pictures...maybe a little less color outside my window...but still, that means we are 2 to as much as 3 weeks ahead for foliage compared to last year.

(and I know the quality of the pictures is terrible)

Kevs pictures of the power line fire last year in the last October storm show areas with no leaves. There were areas like that, I posted pics before the storm of some areas like that. I saw the low areas today with Maples bare already. NH was beautiful at sunrise today.

Yeah most of the pics i show have decent leaves...however, many areas were totally leafless.

Probably a very local thing in Coventry....here in ORH at 950 feet we still has decent leaves on the trees...though many were bare too

You can see it in the pics

Awesome photos..I don't remember seeing yours after the storm. I absolutely love big caking snowstorms like that one. Don't get those often here in upslope fluff country.

And yeah I figured Coventry was isolated like that cause heck I remember even Pete had leaves on his trees. Same with Hubb Dave

The pic from Coventry really looks like December though...not even any leaves on the lawn or around the trees lol.

Imagine if that was November...that would still be ridiculous. But it was October.

Yeah I still google image search October 2011 snow when bored. That's one of my all-time favorites and the storm missed me lol. That's the type of storm that must give you guys that got clocked the chills when you think back.

No doubt. Its too bad we got screwed in the winter to keep the "october snow myth" alive.

Scott wakes up at 4am with cold sweat running down his forehead with images of Jim Cantore in 1996 and the October storm...and the 3 letters "ORH" in his mind. Then he thinks about December 1992 and starts to sway toward the sharp veggie cutting knife in the kitchen and looks at his wrists and says "is this worth it?"....then we tell him to think of Jan 12, 2011 and he backs off the ledge.
