The neighborhoods look so colorful that I forget how awesome the mountains can be. Yeah it's been hitting me when I take the dog for a walk after work on the 6 mile Rec Path that winds through town....like doing something as mundane as a dog walk brings wide vistas of the two 3-4000ft ridgelines that bookend town. Forget about blooming flowers in the spring, in fall we are getting entire square miles to change colors. The kids at soccer practice after school are so spoiled by the flaming red/orange/yellow hillsides that rise 3000ft behind the soccer fields. Its a great time of year to appreciate living in New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a record for me for the date. The previous record was 73° in 1998. Tomorrow's record is only 68° in 2007. I do have 81° readings as late as 11/1 but they become sporadic after 10/15. I'm not adding one today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something very cool about those vivid colors starting at the base and running up the slopes like fire, then mixing with the evergreens near the summit. The stratus really murdered any chance at good photos (and our forecast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really makes it dramatic. Having recently gotten back from the Rockies and seeing peak foliage out there, I was keenly away of how good we have it. The mountains are dramatic there and there are patches of yellows and some other colors at times but nothing like the bucolic drives that we have down some roads of dramatic vistas of mountains like that in northern New England. Sometimes nature just makes you stop and say WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
