nw baltimore wx Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I work in Columbia, and over the years some of the best fall color in the area is in the older neighborhoods like Stevens Forest and Thunder Hill. Maybe it's because of the diversity and age of the trees, but the color seems to start early and hang on longer. The maples are already showing color in the tips, yet they won't peak until the end of October, and then a week or two later, the older oaks peak.

ThePhotoGuy Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 color is starting, although muted, along Skyline Drive I am thinking about heading out there this fall. Will probably go during the week because I have heard it gets packed on the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I am thinking about heading out there this fall.

Mon-Tues are the 2 best days and go as early as possible. Even weekdays draw plenty of people when the sky is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm going to Vermont and Quebec in mid October...should be ok, but maybe a tad too late.... this was northern vermont back in nov 2 2005 after an early snowstorm, lower levels had some color still, higher peaks were bare. I think you would have some really decent color in 3.5 weeks or so Matt. Stowe, VT in the lower elevations. I think peak is around Oct 5-13 timeframe usually in Central VT-NH.

Stowe, VT 7.JPG I think peak is around Oct 5-13 timeframe usually in Central VT-NH. Cool. So you were there for the event too? We stayed on other side of mountain at Smuggs. Son had a great 2 weeks, first on Wednesday night (26th?, maybe it was Tuesday) we headed up to Snowshoe and he earned a few turns while the snow was falling. Then we already had a vacation planned to Smuggs starting that Saturday (29th), we arrived to no power so we headed to Killington which had opened and he got to ride there too...lucky break on our part. He got to 'play' in the snow at Smuggs for several more days that week until it melted away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCWX Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 In the last 48 hours I am noticing lots of patchy color all around me. I think it's gonna be like last year. A sudden fast change, but the leaves will stick around for a bit. Peak for my area will be in 10-14 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Definitely getting more color day-by-day. A good fraction of the maples have at least a hint of color. Some bradford pears and burning bushes are also turning a bit. Oaks are 100% green still of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Color starting to show up on the at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. Got to love the swamp maples. I think they have the best red color in the fall. Great photo Matt. I took this today in Blowing Rock, NC, about 3000 feet or so. It is patchy color here in the high country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Went for a hike today here in Lancaster county and there were leaves falling and leaf drop starting about at 600 ft. Still about 90% green though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Great pics, Dave! Hiked up to Comptons Peak yesterday in SNP. Peak is around 2950'. Temp at the trail head (2150') was 55F with total overcast. A wonderful day weather-wise. Up on the Drive the maples (of course, these already have color down here in the valley) and elms (I think) are showing good amount of color. Those aren't the predominant trees there, though, so there isn't a great amount of color just yet. I would think this coming weekend is going to be showtime, though. Saturday's forecast here is upper 70s, so an escape up on the drive will be in the cards for me and the family. Looking to take our 20 month old on a hike and picnic at Dickey Ridge (along with the other 250,000 people who'll be there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonjon Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 For those more familiar with WV than me, how much more time for places like Blackwater Falls and Babcock State Park? Looks like things are pretty close to peak here. I imagine the colors will still be nice this coming weekend. After that the colors will fade quickly.
