Once the wind picks up Friday leaves are going to fall like crazy here on the uws. Doesn't sound like we're even getting much rain/t-storms on Friday now. Some of the mets were hyping that up earlier in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I know that no one seems as worked up about this as me, but is anyone else floored by the delay in fall foliage on LI? While the trees that usually start hitting peak three weeks ago are starting to get there now, the trees that typically change later are ridiculously behind. The oaks have barely begun to lose their leaves. The maples have only now, in the last day or so, begun to show some color and drop a few dozen leaves. I know these are among the trees which lose their leaves later, but still. Anecdotally: Anyone around LI remember trudging through leaves on Halloween afternoon as a kid? There were virtually no leaves on the ground to speak of this year. Also, typically by the weekend before Thanksgiving, if memory serves, I can usually do my major fall cleanup and get the Christmas decorations out, with a few light rounds of touchup to follow. We are easily 3 weeks away from that. Time on my hands today obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoggyO Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Twenty years ago when I moved into my house on the North Shore of Long Island, the Dogwoods on my property would start the leaf raking season, by dropping all of their leaves just before Halloween. Now they still have their leaves and are just starting to drop them. I used to start raking in early October and end Thanksgiving weekend. Now I'm starting in late October and going into Christmas weekend or later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always lived on the south shore and as far back as I can remember, Thanksgiving marks the time when all the leaves have fallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I would love to try to do a correlation between variables like average temp, average high temp, average low temp, total precip, etc, for, say, Jan 1 - Oct. 1 against 'date of peak color', or 'date of 99% leaves fallen' Nobody tracks leaf-related stats like that though, do they?

We are easily 3 weeks away from that. Time on my hands today obviously.I’m in Morris County, NJ, but yes, this year is very late, even compared to last year. I assume this is due to the sheer, consistent amount of rain we had all year. For instance, my lawn has been bright green and beautiful through this week with minimal watering over the summer. This is even after a week of nighttime freezes.The colors are pretty vibrant this year as well. My gut feeling is that everything is ten days late this year. The kids are usually kicking through leaf piles on Halloween, and that was diminished this year. On the second photo, the amount of rain led to a bumper crop in walnuts from my black walnut trees. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Claus Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 if rclab was a spider what kind of spider would he be i think he would be an orb weaver spider for sure, probably the most philosophical of all spiders. in the genus Araneus. but he would not be a brightly-colored orb weaver. he would be a less-flashy orb weaver with colors that blend into his environment. he would be the spider all the other spiders talk to for spider advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
