Very picturesque post! How often do you get snow where you are?
Last winter we had a lot of snow. Seems like a big storm every week or so. We set a record for seasonal snowfall if I remember right.
Other winters we have had little snow other than 2 or 3 inches once in awhile. It varies. Depends on where the low pressure areas form and which way they travel. Some years they miss us and some years we get direct hits. Like last winter. The ground was white all winter long. Some communities even ran out of road salt and couldn't get contracts for more. We had some deep snows last winter. Some 15 to 20 inch snows. That is uncommon for this area. I don't even live in the lake affect snow belt. They usualy get the deep stuff.
Above the hill, leaves usually peak around early October and are almost completely off the trees by October 20th or so.
Below the hill, they seem to peak later (say mid-October, maybe October 20) and often aren't off the trees until after Halloween, in some places even staying until mid November.
Me too, especially to the North & West, they show all those colorful trees on the news while everything towards the city is still heavily green. It takes weeks for it to get that way here, I'm happy it's that way. It was nice and warm yesterday you are lucky you got to go to the beach.
I'm so jealous of I LOVE NORTH CAROLINA , I'd love to have no Fall foliage.
Seriously?
I think fall foliage is beautiful.
Although we're still not at our peak (which as I said usually occurs in early October), the leaves came out very early this year; I saw colors on a few trees around August 31st. Now that's unusual. (As are the low temperatures we had in late August, and the very warm first half of September we've enjoyed).
How I would love that. I like fall color, but come January, I am sick of the "dead looking" trees and long for March to come around to the leaves will come on the trees again.

Ok, I'll be more than happy to trade places with anyone of you

I think it's beautiful too but I know it means the beginning of the end, lifeless trees and temps only in the 20's/30's/40's/50's/60's (10's & 70's too), it's still Summer but I'm sick already, my asthma and allergies are acting up.

I'd switch places with you in a heartbeat, it's not even Fall yet and I'm sick (as soon as we dropped into the upper-50's one night), we are in for a warm up and I hope that helps me recover, heat makes my asthma go away and it makes me immune to being sick.
