All Oaks changed/changing Tons of green Oaks here in South Windsor, Ellington, Vernon, Enfield and Springfield, probably still 25% green in those locations. Full foliage in most spots straight up I-91 into Southern Vermont, very unusual for October 27th. A repeat of October 2011 would be a disaster of even greater magnitude.

There were more leaves on the trees then than now. Even the oaks were still green. The oaks on this side of the mountain have turned...nothing green. I'd say were about 30% bare too.

Southern Vermont still has tons of foliage, this area was bare in October 2011 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that changes overnight. In 11 we had that first mini snowstorm then wind right before the bomb which really stripped trees in SVT while the coast had lots of green leaves .

CT Valley Snowman Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Foliage is over for most now. Cleanup time. Leafblower, gloves, rake. Leaf bags, and the yard waste barrel. No vacuuming or mowing here, just labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
