MarkO Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Around here in Lowell we had a major cankerworm (green inchworm) invasion over the spring/summer which decimated the deciduous trees. They never recovered and I'm guessing that and the lack of rain may be impacting the color. Up north we didn't get that infestation, and it hasn't been as dry. One other item of note.

CT Valley Snowman Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Looking at some of the pics from forums to the south, there actually looks like there is better color showing up in some of the higher terrain in the Cental/ southern Appalachians compared to PF'S pics from Northern VT.

Very well could be...they are up at 4-6000ft. I see a little more color by the day here but it's slow. Still +8 on the month at the mountain isn't helping.

Still +8 on the month at the mountain isn't helping. I think it's just about perfect timing for me. I get to take a Coop trip to the magical world of Pittsburg next Wednesday. I think it's going to be my first time north of the notches, as the rockpile is as far north as I've been in NH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah could be good...another week away and further NW in a slightly colder climate up there...there will at least be 50% color I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm half expecting a 4 foot snowpack up there. lol they are in our boat the last few winters...barely average snow if that. Probably more snow in Weymouth right now than Pittsburg lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to go down Idlewide Rd and take the first right to enjoy the most serene spot in the state on the 2nd CT lake. Go at night for epic stargazing/loons/excessive silence/overly friendly foxs. It's where my fascination with the northern lights began on 10/21/01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champy Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Here in the Finger Lakes region in CNY even up near 2000 feet just a smattering of color change. These were taken on Wednesday with my drone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think we've seen more color change in the past 6 hours than we have in the past two weeks. You can actually start to see where the colors are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx2fish Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm half expecting a 4 foot snowpack up there. If you stop at treats and treasures just north of the first lake the owner is a snow weenie. A couple years ago I was up there snowmobiling and he was showing me models. He would probably be a good spotter. It's also one of the few spots with cell service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a whole, it's just a general yellowing, but within that, there are some decent batches forming. I just took these on my trip to the dump, all within a mile of the Pit.. Nice COC day. I think the progged mid-60's for western Franklin are going to bust. 58.2/46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pit running even with the 2,000ft sites on the crest. 63-67F will probably be the high at most of those 800-1400ft stations on the east slope like Ashfield, Worthington, Chesterfield, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Went apple picking today and saw some color picking up on the way along 132 and 129. The swamp maples on the way to Meadow Ledge Farm are already past peak...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
