Leafpile #8: September 28th, 2011





















I can't tell if things are a tad slow this year in terms of fall colors or if this is normal. Seems slow this year.

In any case, there is "moderate" color change in the northernmost counties of Maine (Aroostook, Piscataquis). That means up to 50% change with low leaf drop. And with this latest round of cooler weather, things are going to change rapidly!

I'm heading for my first fall foliage road trips of the season this weekend in New Hampshire and here in Maine. More on that later!

New Hampshire:

Vermont:
Pretty much the same story as NH. The Northeast Kingdom (the northernmost region in Vermont along the Canadian border) is reporting color change in higher elevations with more changes expected next week. Read more...
