Does Roanoke get colorful autumns? (cars, trees, area)

[Sonorio]

I mean, I wouldn't have any way to know....Do the trees drop for a month or two and start back up again? Do you have all the nice colors and all the nice raking that we do up here (Upstate NY)/

Lots of trees of course since we are in the mountains so there is much raking.
If there are cool nights and warm days then the leaves are brilliant reds and oranges. The weather hasn't yet turned cold and the leaves this year are fair.
They haven't fallen off the trees totally.

yeah, pretty great color. I think that, generally, upstate NY and New England will have more consistently colorful Autumns. But yes, we get lots of color (and fallen leaves).

Lots of Windy days/nights in Roanoke so the leaves are pretty but only for a limited time. After they fall off the winter is very depressing (for me anyway), and it gets very dull looking around there just like any other place in the winter. But in the winter when it snows (if it snows haha) the snow on the higher elevated mountains in a distance are beautiful even if its not snowing in the lower elevated area of the valley.

I hope it's less depressing than it gets up here in the Snow Belt...

Are you a Thunderbird fan? I had a '60, which remains one of the most beautiful cars ever built. People who had never seen one before would just freak.

Will I get a hijack warning for this?
