    I was told there’d be pizza and beer...

    90% of the leaves in my yard are now down and 70% of those have blown out of my yard, lovely stuff. That aside, I am also surprised at how well the trees in general around my neck of the woods held onto their leaves.

    I don't recall a huge difference in elevation between you and I, I'm at 385'. Now in the winter I think there is certainly some in play with my location in comparison to someone I know who lives up in Walker Valley depending on the storm.

    2.93" in the Stratus

    Leaf peeping?

    Pressure for down to 988.5 here, 2.91”in the bucket

    In my yard I've lost about half the leaves, if not a bit more, I've been mulching them with the mower. The maples I have that went to seed this fall dropped their leaves first, I haven't paid attention to this in the past, is it typical for maples that seed in the fall to loose their leaves first? Anyone? Bueller?

    I must admit, some of the sugar maples in my neck of the woods have turned vibrant over the past few days, wonder how much will be left though after the next couple of days though...

    I seem to recall that there was a time frame attached as well back in the day, not sure there is anymore. A quick search found this https://www.nws.noaa.gov/directives/sym/pd01005015e022011curr.pdf#page7

    I believe it’s 28 or lower for a hard freeze. I was going to bring this up last week in the NYC Freeze thread, the difference between a freeze and a hard freeze but I figured weenies heads would explode.

    The Wallkill is rather low these days

    2015 was a stunning foliage year around here, I found this comparison I did a couple of years ago, both photos were taken in 10/14 and then I took the bottom photo yesterday

    I fertilized twice. Once in April and again in June. Didn't start to die off until August. Pretty sure it's not over fertilized. I'm gonna rotatil it next Spring and start over Yeah, after I posted I looked at the photo again and saw spots in the distance that still had some green. It just wondered if it was a burn of some sort, fertilizer or chemical. That’s sucks, so frustrating for you.

    My experience with grubs had the damage patchy, that is totally wiped out, wow. Did you fertilize? Maybe an incorrect setting on the spreader? I’ve seen guys totally burn the lawn out by over fertilizing.

    An absolutely stunning day up here, bright blue cloudless skies at the moment

    Just came up the Thruway from Westchester, all of the dead ash trees aren’t helping the views any. The landscape is forever changed.

    “Only that day dawns to which we are awake.” Yeah, I’d say that you had a big awakening last year, kudos to you. Fall foliage is so damn tricky. I’m guessing now if the very dry September, 1.27” here got some trees to shut down and dropped leaves because that clearly happened in my yard. Now we’re getting some rain again and the leaves aren’t dropping as much. I’m hoping what’s left will change into some decent color here. We shall see.

    Welcome back. The question I have is if the season can be salvaged or its another shitty foliage year for us.

  21. IrishRob17
    Yeah they look even worse from my car.
  22. IrishRob17
    I keep waiting for the colors to pop around here but they are leaning towards the dull side around here.
  23. IrishRob17
    Still a nice shot though. I took that trip again this past August, it doesn't disappoint.
  24. IrishRob17
    You have to post the photo of the Conway Scenic you were after!
  25. IrishRob17
    Completely agree. While I didn’t live through that I have read about it and your posts about it over the years. With a dry spell now called a flash drought that makes it that much more dramatic, kinda like when the term Polar Vortex became popular IMO
