Higher elevations had a good freeze on the 5th and 6th. This quickly accelerated the changing of the leaves. But, there is still a lot of brown leaves. We reached the peak this week. In some places we pasted the peak. This will be the last weekend for colors. By next weekend, many of the leaves will be down.

Higher elevations had a good freeze on the 5th and 6th. Should cause the good colors to start coming out. But, there is still a lot of brown leaves. The rain we had earlier in the week cause some of the leaves to come down. Most people are seeing leaves changing by the side of the road. Inside the woods, the change percentage is less. Next weekend will probably be the peak.
Lots of brown leaves and few red, orange, and yellow colors so far.
