Geos Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Noticing the Sumac's have been putting on quite the color display this month. Lot of oranges and reds, even saw one tonight where the lower compound leaves where bright yellow, but the top was still solid green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Great pictures, everybody! Sort of bummed that right when some of the trees changed color, we had gusty winds all weekend, knocking some of them off. Still many left on to go though. We had a big burst of color last week and then it slowed down again with the warmer weather. Very odd color season. Still, beautiful colors to see and hopefully the wind calms down a bit for the rest of the week. With cooler air and lake effect showers though, I doubt that though.

BuffaloWeather Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 A few pictures from my neck of the woods. You can see the Bills stadium directly ahead, lake erie to the left, downtown Buffalo far away, and if you look real close Niagara Falls way off the distance. You can come here during lake effect season to see the bands north of the area. This is my favorite park, about 8 minutes from my house. I go frisbee golfing here a few times a week and cross country skiing in the winter. Has some good elevation (1200 feet) and average 175-225" of snow a year.

cyclone77 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 A lot of what color we had was wiped away by the 40mph winds yesterday. Landscape looks pretty meh again, with mostly green trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxDanny Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Went camping down by the Lake Shelbyville (IL) area this past weekend. Trees still trying to hold on to their summery glow, but the times are a changing as evidenced by the falling leaves and hints of fiery colors! I am sure if I gave it 2 or 3 weeks it would be much more vibrant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishing has been insane out there the past few weeks! That's what I heard, but unfortunately not what I experienced! Was way too breezy for good fishing, but nevertheless I enjoyed it.

TugHillMatt Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I love seeing all the pictures. It is neat to see the areas you all live in. How are the leaves looking down in Northern Indiana? Looking forward to going down there for my anniversary this weekend. To Shipshewana, Elkhart, and Valparaiso we go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Still not a ton of color and running behind by several weeks, but color is gradually increasing. Should see peak in about a week to a week and a half from now, given the cooler temps the next several days and frost/freeze potential for the weekend.

Chicago WX Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Seems like the color on this tree popped overnight. Well probably not, haha, but fairly vibrant looking this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 This weekend's freeze in Ohio is perfect timing for myself, as next weekend is a getaway weekend in a cabin in the Hocking Hills. Hopefully the colors will be bursting by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 On my way to work I pass by a whole series of trees turning at once. Been interesting to see how far they're coming each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Nice pics so far guys. I'm starting to think this season will be a bust here. Color just isn't looking so hot. The trees that have turned quickly had their leaves blown off. The sugar maples don't seem as vibrant as normal either. Very disappointing so far.

Hoosier Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Anyone remember fall 2000? Still had leaves on the trees in December, even during that storm on the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Anyone remember fall 2000? Still had leaves on the trees in December, even during that storm on the 11th. Don't remember that but I do remember a period of extreme early season cold sometime in the early 90s in early Nov. Many of the trees hadn't dropped all their leaves yet and the leaves froze to the trees and didn't fall off all winter, despite several periods well above freezing later on. Think it dipped into the teens or even upper single digits IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 There's a tree by the curb in my neighbor's yard that is absolutely stunning right now, hard to get a picture to do it justice. I'm not sure even what kind of tree it is but it really stands out against the other trees in the neighborhood that haven't reached full color yet.Also, not your typical fall color but the New England Asters and Goldenrod are still in full bloom and look nice in the fields surrounding the Fairlane Green shopping complex in nearby Allen Park. Hard to believe that 13 years ago, this was a landfill used by Ford Motor Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was kinda weird to see that in the midst of blizzard/near blizzard conditions lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 My last bit of color this morning. As a whole, the color was average I'd say. The peak lasted a week thanks to tranquil weather which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
