michsnowfreak Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 As it's nearing peak up by bo, which will start working its way South, figured i would start a thread for observations on the progress of color, as well as pictures. Some nice early color showing up in Southeast Michigan, nothing abnormal, but I am wondering how the warm weather next week will affect it, if any. It was a late green up, a wet Spring, a dry summer, then a wet start to fall. Mother nature has definitely been playing tricks, but the early color so far seems just fine.

osubrett2 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 No color showing anywhere in Central Ohio. With 6.57" of rain in September and +4.9F on the month (only 1 night in the 40s to-date seasonally), I'm not surprised. The next 7 days won't progress the change much either.

michsnowfreak Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Wow surprised to hear there is no color in central OH. The shortening days will over power above avg temps sooner or later im sure. Above avg looks to last til about the 12th or 13th. A coworker just remarked that every day. out the office window theres more color showing. I would consider it more than patchy but in the "low" color category so far.

weatherbo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Beautiful but very chilly day after the wind and rain last night. Leaf season will quickly be over in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Once the fog burned off it was like a sauna. Highs peaked in the low 80s but dews were near 70. Fall colors moving right along though. Much colder air is lurking, after 2 more days AC season looks to be done for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first everything being relatively flat was getting to me because I was use to mountains being around me, but as time goes by I have adjusted. If I can transfer I might be looking to go up into the Gladstone area of the UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Weather hasn't cooperated this year for getting good pictures during peak color, so these were taken today which is a little past peak for best color. But first weekend without rain. I was able to get my first leaf clean up which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Pics from this weekend in Cadillac Took this pic today of late-day Autumn light. There is some nice color in SE MI but it seems to be more muted/dull than the usual bright display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was literally a last second shot. I was at the red light right before I turn into my office complex and the way the light was streaming in it was quite a sight, i literally grabbed my phone and snapped, i only had seconds lol.

bowtie` Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Drove around most of the county today and the best color happened to be right in town here. That is rather strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I agree with bowtie about Indiana leaves (at least in this part of the state). Not much color happening here. It's pretty late. I have a maple tree in my yard that usually is a vibrant yellow by this time. It is just a very dull yellow/green and leaves are beginning to fall.

hawkeye_wx Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 There are some nice reds in my neighborhood, but they're dropping quickly. There is a nice, big, red maple outside of my bedroom window that has perhaps 1/4 of its leaves remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The color here along I-70 is looking much better. Probably will be peaking this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
