I'm in southern Kentucky and the leaves have barely turned which normally they should have turned by now. I don't know if it's going to be a good fall for pretty trees or not. I'm from Indiana and from what I hear, color is expected to be delayed this year and arrive in late October due to having warmer weather that has kept leaves greener longer. Maybe the same applies for Kentucky. Come to think about it....we might not even have an Indian Summer. We might end up going straight from fall to winter weather.

The leaves are drying out and falling but not much color here in Central New York.
The pundits are blaming the lack of color on the local drought and warmer temperatures.
It’s interesting to me that the young ornamental trees and shrubs planted on people’s lawns are showing some color while the forests are not.
I miss the color but am more concerned to see if this has any impact on the spring maple syrup production in this area.

I never thought of that. Does your area produce a lot of Maple syrup? They don't where I'm at but Indiana and Ohio produces a significant amount.The leaves are drying out and falling but not much color here in Central New York.

We’re second to Vermont with an annual production of about 850,000 gallons per year.
It’s normally a sideline but significant source of income for approx. 2000 producers across the state.

Not much color here either. Was told it was too warm and dry like Aunt Bea said.

They’re just starting to here in Nashville. Scenery is predominantly green, with smudgy patches of fall color here and there.

Fall colors typically peak around Columbus Day weekend in central New Hampshire and this year is no exception. It isn't one of those "stunning" autumns - the colors are somewhat muted due to the unusually dry weather - but still rather pretty. (Having lived in the far north for most of my life, I'm somewhat jaded.
