Local leaves reach peak
New York's foliage report show many leaves locally are at or past their peak colors. The report says, "In the Hudson Valley, Columbia County spotters in Hudson are looking forward to peak foliage with 90 percent color change and average to bright yellow, gold and orange leaves. Volunteers note that color change throughout the county is uneven, with some areas showing minimal transition and other spots displaying a full range of beautiful fall colors. Ulster County spotters in Highland predict peak foliage with 80 percent transition and bright yellow, orange and red leaves, and significant droppage.... In the Catskills, foliage in Greene County will be mostly past-peak with some peak areas remaining around the valley and river. Look for nearly complete color change with bright red and orange leaves. Ulster County observers in Highland predict peak foliage with 80 percent change and bright yellow, orange and red leaves, despite significant droppage.... In Albany County, reports from Cohoes predict peak to slightly past-peak foliage with about 80% color change and orange, yellow, yellow-green, green and red leaves of varying brilliance. Plenty of green leaves remain, however there is also significant droppage and some bare trees. In the southwestern portion of the county, spotters at Thacher State Park in Voorheesville are expecting peak to slightly past-peak foliage with 85 percent change and yellow, orange and brown leaves, with hints of green and random bursts of bright red. There is also significant leaf droppage and some bare trees. Visitors can look for peak to slightly past-peak foliage in the western and southern portions of Rensselaer County, with 75-85 percent transition and muted shades of red, orange-red, orange, yellow and brown. Foliage in the eastern and northern portions of the county will be past-peak with many brown leaves, significant droppage and bare trees." See New York's foliage report for more information.
