Lot of damage on one street..seems like every house has a tree on it.

I'm down at Bennington Hospital, power went out for a few minutes at Hospital, either came back on or Generators backed it up.

I've never even been on the Kanc, but always here stories about the backups around peak foliage..no chance I would go near that on a weekend in early Oct..

That's looks like pretty good coverage, nice job. Hopefully it stays around through next summer.

Yea l, thought that was funny, he's obviously a big gardener/plant guy, but Hostas are starting their fade anyway as coastal said.

Kevin's boy staying on the train...

2.29" here.

Nice, what town? I see your in the Taconics somewhere.

PSF already 1.61"

Cancel those Columbus Day weekend reservations, looks like you guys are on the back end of peak heading down quickly to stick season.

PF and Phin high fiving each other all winter across state lines..that probably won't get old quick..

Don't worry, you'll see leaves again June 2021..ha

Stein made a visit to my front yard. Backyard barely holding on. About 25 days since any rain more than a heavy drizzle. Couple inches this week hopefully.

Yesterday morning view in the Eastern ADK's near Schroon Lake..great foliage viewing during the boat rides A couple from sunny day a few days ago. Last 2 in SVT.

Yea, could be the reason for the delay compared to here.

I was over in Lake George area today and seemed like very little change, like surprisingly little change even in the higher hills..colors didn't start picking up until the drive back home when I got to the Taconics and Greens in SVT.

Right, I'm not saying you went all Kevin and said it was going to be a sea of brown like he does most years. There probably will be spots, even higher up little more dull where they radiate----hollows, etc.

I mentioned that in a post a few days ago to CoastalWx, I noticed that some mid slope PWS around here were staying in the Mid 30s some of those cold nights and that it would prob still be good in those elevation hillside zones.

I was just going to post that..ha Maybe it will shorten the peak, who knows. It certainly isnt dulling any colors. Stuff is intense right now.

Normally down here Columbus weekend is peak or near peak, this year I don't think so. I drove through the higher terrain over through Stratton today on my way down to HVN and the reds are really popping, especially for Sept 24th, I mean some spots looked really nice. I think we'll be past even down here by Columbus Day. Even some decent Maples on I- 91 down throug Mass changing.

Yea, I would assume the data is coming from COOP or first order stations, but the nearest one to me on that map would be Rutland COOP which they have as 71.7" but they were actually 66 or 67" last year. So, not sure where the number are coming from. That said, the map still looks decent shading wise, at least in this area.

It also seems that the Randolph cocorahs observer is extremely meticulous with obs and measuring. I think Phin mentioned in one post that the observer was measuring every few hours in some event, obviously that would be too frequent, but the point is they probably aren't missing any event. Every .8" and 1.3" are probably being logged immediately before any sublimation/melting. We talk about this frequently, but if you are doing once a day measuring or waiting long periods before logging measurements, its not going to accurately portray the snowfall in a region where there are many frequent smaller events, especially in the Jspin, Alex, etc upslope zones.

PF explained it was 10-11, but I wouldn't call last year a ratter in NNE either. Southern NH prob the most below average, steep gradiant as you headed down towards SNE.
