Loaded up the ebikes and headed north on this beautiful day.  Foliage is around 10-15% in Central NH.  Even in Franconia Notch as you can see it was still mostly green.  Color increases rapidly north of there.  

I went to the Flume today. Franconia Notch is way behind. That said, I think foliage in Franconia Notch sucks in general. Too many beech trees. It's never that great

I was in Montreal for the day today and it was in the low 70s! Felt weird and unexpected. High of 59 here. 

Just got back from a day trip to Montreal and it was interesting to see the difference. Great color from here through the NEK but diminishing rapidly around Jay, then a few areas of color around the mountains in Southern Quebec, and absolutely nothing in Montreal. It was very summery there

What's with this crappy cold rain? I thought it was going to be nice to day! Have to drive to Montreal to pick up my mom from the airport

Alex has money.

Lol. I spent it all on this damn house. Sell the house, buy a sensor? Those look cool!

Just ordered the tenths rules. Seems a bit more in my price range

So... it's time to start thinking of snow measuring. One challenge is always the small, daily snow we usually get. Has anybody tried something like this??? Stratus RG202

Wow, the new gondola and summit restaurant dominate BW. I drove by yesterday and took quick glance. 

 

Yeah the new restaurant looks awesome. Wont open till next summer though. The gondola is ready to go. Don't  particularly care for gondolas except for when it's really cold. 

We managed to eat outside twice in a row. Impressive for September. Getting a bit chilly towards the end as we dropped into the low 60s, but still very enjoyable. I need to get some patio heaters next year to do this more. 

Today in Sugar Hill. Seems pretty much around schedule here, should peak in another 10 days or so? Early October seems about average for this area

32 to 74 here. 42 degree delta. 

My corn was ALMOST ready to harvest but it's fried to a crisp. Dammit. Can't grow anything up here. And I started it in a greenhouse so it could go into the ground as soon as the  weather allowed in the spring. 

A few from the hood

It's a warm pattern. We'll get mild downs and maybe sneak in a cool high or a dead ratter with rain and CAD, but overall it's a lot of days well above normal. We'll warm it right back up to well into the 70s late next week. But we're done with 90F up here and the clock will be ticking on the 80s after this weekend.

That sounds fantastic. We are getting a ton of last minute bookings; I think most of the population is pretty stoked about it. 

32.2. We frost but don't freeze

35.4. I wonder if we slip below freezing again

27.5 and heavy heavy frost

41.4 and a freeze warning 

Progressing very nicely. Some of the little trees are really stunning. Is there a reason why saplings tend to be so colorful?

It's absolutely worth it on a clear moonless night. It was an incredible view, but it can get a bit chilly even in the summer.

However if you're in Connecticut, the Adirondacks might be a better bet. Or remote areas of NNE.

You can see it very well here on a clear night (and we are not that far!). My brother lives in Rome where you can’t even see a meteorite coming straight at you and was freaked out the first time he saw the Milky Way lol

Eh. We beat all 3. 

I suppose this is an official end to the growing season? Forgot to bring the hibiscus in.

Definitely color showing up here. Hard to capture in photos but about 25% of trees have some red in them. Took this today from my beach area looking towards the ski slopes (if you squint you can see the new gondola)

Frosty again but not as cold. 32.7

Just free falling temps this evening.  

Sun this afternoon bumped us up to a high of 67F.... then the sun went down.  

Now 47F and falling and continuing downward.  Might make upper 30s tonight.

Same here. P&C went from 39 to 32 so if it radiates well we may get colder than 2 days ago. We'll see! Plants are inside so no worries there.
