    Here are all the shots I got from Sunday along and near the BRP from Grandfather northward toward Boone. The good patches here were adjacent to green and brown areas. It is a patchwork to be sure.

    I looked up the Graveyard Fields and thought damn I should have gone there. I think it may be past peak up there being it is at 5,000 feet or so. I am trying to decide on tomorrow's attempt.

    Well after reviewing the aerials there were certainly some vibrant spots with gaps in between. I also need to say there is still hope for lots of it to turn in some areas. It won't be a blanket peak for sure as I have said, but certainly not all bad. I am also hopeful about the Hanging Rock area north of Winston a little later.

    I made a return trip today and was let down. Lots of brownout and leaf drop along the Blue ridge from 421 to Linn Cove. There were pockets of good color but overall it was underwhelming. Seems like three bad years in a row. Lower elevations still haven't turned much either.

    I will be posting ground and aerial shots of what I witnessed this morning. Coldest temp my car read was 33F by Price Lake. Anyway I think the foliage will do alright by Grandfather this year so long as there isn't too much blow down in the coming days. I don't think it will be a widespread blanket of peak color this year but there will be some photos to be had. I noticed a few areas in the distance with brownout ongoing, but still lots of green to change as well.

    I took a quick trip up very early this morning. Very frosty near Price Lake. Fall color was very patchy with moderate color just south of the Linn Cove Viaduct in a small area. I caught sunrise by that bridge and unfortunately two idiots were stopped on the road with their flashers on ruining the scene and also it was dangerous. I will make another attempt next week.

    I am hoping that progresses quickly before Tuesday when I plan a quick trip. I have seen foliage change rapidly in the northeast within a few days before. The weather has certainly been more favorable for that now. I plan on getting some aerials too (legal if you launch from a 221 pull off nearby).

    The Fall Foliage Guy suggests a peak around Grandfather Mountain between 10/15 and 10/20 or so. I plan on trying on Tue.

    Anytime peak is delayed you are in trouble foliage wise. There is still some hope but I am sure it will be a shortened season with higher leaf drop during the best colors. How many years in a row has it been lackluster now?

    Wash, rinse, repeat. Just like last year.

    Thank you!

    How is the foliage looking up there?
  14. eyewall
    Thank you and yeah that is what I am seeing in the reports as well.

    Someone get me to MT:

    Nice start in MT:

    I think the Piedmont is going to brown out this year. Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain were the saving grace last year for at least some decent color when the mountains busted, but this year you can see the stress in the trees already. I am hoping Lynn Cove will be a worthwhile trip at some point.
  18. eyewall
    Any hints of the foliage starting up there yet?
  19. eyewall
    I am concerned about another dud in terms of foliage season. It may be a done deal wit the late heat and extended dry spell.

    The most dangerous aspect of this all is the forcing of government agencies to cover for Trump and his narcissistic personality disorder no matter how unhinged he is. A complete disregard for the truth propagated by agencies charged with protecting life and property is horrifying.
  21. eyewall
    Once again it will end up being a crap fall foliage season because of late heatwaves.
  22. eyewall
    Yeah it happens during the ET transition most often. They have occurred with UK gales as well.

    It will be interesting to see how long the feature lasts.

    We had a sting jet with Michael in NC last year. 30 minutes of 60+

    The statement was likely issued by Comms Director Julie Roberts who worked on his campaign. It is gaslighting 101
