Juliancolton Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 It's still abysmal but I think my area has actually managed to eclipse last season in terms of color... granted, that's like using 2011-12 as a benchmark for winter quality. But the aforementioned dots of color in the landscape have splayed out a bit into slightly more robust swaths. Still lots of green in the valleys, so maybe we can keep the preferential chlorophyll degradation rolling and have a nice soft peak in early Novie. Yesterday...

There's actually some really nice foliage color in my part of town and it's peak. The real problem is the persistently cloudy weather. The high winds today are really hurting the tree's that are at peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 I drove down to Glastonbury and Meshomasic Forest. On the way home I drove through Hebron/Andover/Coventry/Vernon/Ellington/Somers and back to Enfield. Peak color around Glastonbury, past peak in Andover/Coventry. Peak foliage color here in Enfield.

I will agree but it seems more inconsistent and less cohesive than our good years, it just didn't seem to come together as well as our more memorable seasons. This weekend's rain and wind should finish things off for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Foliage is nice driving around. Definitely some bright colors, but lots of leaf drop already with maples going bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally do one last foliage trip to the CT South Shore. I'm not sure if it is worth it this year. We also still have about 25% green foliage around here and 90% foliation.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Leaf drop is about 30% here in Enfield following the storm, but there are still areas with nice peak colors. The area on Route 5 between route 190 and I-91 has some really beautiful fall color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 There were amazing colors on rt 24 last week. Now I’ve noticed the maples have a lot of leaf drop. Oaks as usual taking their time. It’s funny growing up I’ve never noticed the oaks so bad as I lived in a low area with mostly maples. Only a few oaks. Most of the time we’d be bare by Halloween. Now living in an oak area...quite the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Can any CT South Shore residents report on the foliage conditions. I'm thinking of driving there this week if the conditions are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of driving there this week if the conditions are good. I'd say it's at peak. If you're driving up 95 probably 70 or 80% of the trees have color now at least that's what I noticed this weekend from New Haven northward.

CT Valley Snowman Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Parts of the CT River valley further south are still at peak, Enfield seems a bit past now after the storm bur still some good color in spots. The S coast is mainly approaching or at peak and the higher hill towns of interior and especially northern CT seem to be mainly past peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Rapid Oak color change here with the deep freeze's over the last two weeks. Oak color change is about 90% here with peak color happening about 7-10 days early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Some tremendous color late this week... pretty bare now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The mountains busted down here but as I thought, the foothills/western Piedmont of NC did pretty well even if it was a little late (I know it is out of region but I figured you might enjoy these shots): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
