  3. Thank you for the authors tour you did on the 14th. Yesterday was indeed a beautiful fall day. We went to Hammonasette State Park in CT. to ride bikes. There was some decent color along the road. However the color is fairly faded from the early reds and the rain of a week or so ago. I have been noticing that the maple trees that are still mostly gerrn are beginning to show some yellow/orange with tinges of red in the Meriden area. However there are still many green trees. This seems unusual to me. I love your reports and have forwarded them several times to friends and relatives. This year folks including us are mostly not traveling. We did take a ride last week on Route 7 to Mt. Greylock. The color we saw was pretty dull and sparce. The crowds however were plentiful. There was a hour wait to get to the top. Needless to say we turned around for the long drive back down the mountain. We normally try to get to VT and or NH in the fall to see the leaves, but that means staying overnight so we gave it a pass this year and hope that we can make it next year. I keep all your destination and stopping places for our annual trips up north. Thanks for that. Also I recently bought a bunch of masks with your photos. They have been given to several people who love them.

    • I’m guessing you are down in Meridian CT? I see someone bought a bunch in that area around the 1st of Oct. The problem with the still green trees lies with the temps. From Mass down to CT and RI, the temps have stayed warm with only a few chilly nights. so I call this a slow burn effect. An example chart of a Slow-burn fall color development
      Up north from southern NH/Vermont they were receiving very chilly temps in mid-Sept so they in some areas were at peak by the 25th – 27th of Sept. We may be seeing color in CT in early November at this rate.
