HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 5 hours ago, WxWatcher007 said: It took time here in the valley but I’d say this is an above average foliage year. There are plenty of dull spots, but also plenty of trees where the color is legit spectacular—if only for a few days. Yeah trees were absolutely vibrant in Northampton this week. Greenfield was great last week but starting to fade a little bit now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowcrazed71 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 5 hours ago, Damage In Tolland said: Just an epic leaf disaster today . Oaks weeks ahead of schedule . Raining down by the thousands like men on Scooter on Brokeback Must you always make everything have a gay undertone? I swear.... If I didn't know better...lol ( and that's coming from a gay guy ). You are an odd bird! Now, regarding the leaves. The colors have been great, but I came home from work today and I feel like the leaves came down in droves as everything was completely covered. Covered. I think because it's been so dry, the trees are just losing the leaves now quickly. This may be the first time in quite some time that we'll have almost bare trees by Halloween. 2 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterSnow Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Still some pretty trees here and there, but wow saw quite a few bare trees in between Bristol and Hartford and lots and lots of brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we are getting past peak now, leaves are dropping fast, and the oaks with the brown are starting to take center stage now. But Late last week, and especially over the weekend and into Monday, it was spectacular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Light rain falling at 67F in late October is a vibe. Wets the ground, probably leads to more fog. Love having all the windows and doors open as the weak FROPA moves through a good 30mph breeze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimetree Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I can't speak for the EGOs but got an electric Toro snowblower a couple years ago. Of course, haven't needed to use it much with the recent duds but it handles a decent amount of snow fairly easily. I might get a third battery for it to help power through the heavy stuff since I find it struggles with high water content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power was out here for a day or so but south of here 4 days. Greenfield was swamped with people coming up from the south to get gas and groceries etc. Yes.....I think I ended up with 26".
