Juliancolton Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Heavy heavy leaf drop in my area today. Went from vibrant peak color to vast bare patches essentially overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't effect the colors, except possibly enhance them in some trees while dulling them in others, but the duration is shortened. Looks like wind this weekend which will take many of them down.

Yeah, that should put the kibosh on most of the foliage. Cool and sunny weather next week will make for pretty sweet viewing of whatever leaves manage to hang on, though. There was still lots of green along Seven Lakes Drive in Harriman when I was there yesterday am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Albany for a few days and got home this afternoon, I couldn't believe the change in color and I had a lot of leaf drop too. I'm at peak around here, maybe a touch past peak IMO only because of the leaf drop in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely some amazing color out there this year, seems like each individual trees show this year is shortened would would be due to the drought.

I'm thinking of driving up to Thatcher SP this weekend, you suspect there will be any color left to look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Great place. The Indian ladder trail is great, especially if there's water flowing over the falls. I was in the Saratoga area Tuesday, noticeably past peak. I would think Thatcher will have some color, but a lot of leaf loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may still give it a shot. Even if the colors are past peak there will still be color. So maybe a panoramic shot may not look as good but some smaller sections or individual trees may still look great. There's only one way to know for sure.

JerseyWx Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The color here has gotten better since last week for sure. The oranges, reds, and yellows are really popping in a lot of trees. Definitely approaching peak, just needs a bit more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The first flakes for some is a real possibility tomorrow afternoon/evening. If you live in Sullivan/Ulster with some decent elevation I would say its a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 ^^Yeah that was pretty much it. A couple of days that were good then boom, done. I've been down in NC for a few days so haven't seen my area in daylight since Wednesday but there were still quite a few trees that were green, late season green but still green.

I have sprayed the pole though and wrapped duck tape around the pole , sticky side out, but if it worked it was only short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
