When the temperatures from the 90s to the 1950s and a farm full of early autumn leaves act, it begins to look at a lot like “pyeeping” season. Leaf grants, that is,.
All over the country, the crazy summer weather ranged from incredibly mild to outrageously wild. In view of this, it is easy to believe that autumn will not be much different. Hopefully we will be milder and much less wild, especially if we look at our quickly adopted summer from the long view.
Unfortunately, my ultimate weather expert always takes up the long term. After all, they have been making weather -related predictions for more than two centuries. They predict an “old -fashioned winter” while we sound down the curtain on another trip around the sun.
Yes, that According to Bauernalmanac, this winter will be colder than average for a large part of the country. The experts predict dramatic temperature fluctuations and widespread snow. Fortunately, plates of frogs and water that change to blood are not on their predecision list.
Before the winter arrives here, there is the small matter of autumn. And autumn means metamorphosis across the country as deciduous trees for its annual resting period. For most of us, the “sheet pepping” season is.
Despite these early drop leaves that I sucked up this weekend, the south is actually a few weeks before the pointed peeping season. Not much leaf activity is actually happening at the moment. This is due to two factors: daylight and temperature. A deficiency in both of the photos of photosynthesis stops further north and in higher increases. This is the process where it becomes green. With a lack of chlorophyll, other minor concentrations of chemicals (anthocyanine and carotenoids can dominate in the event that they take a scientific test) and turn the leaves red, yellow or orange.
In short, this means that this week you tend to be the yellow of the aspens in the mountains (think of Colorado, Utah, Montana and Idaho) as anything but early drops in the rest of the country. For most of us, the Peak autumn color arrives in October. More than eighty percent of the leaf peeper will make their pilgrimage in the course of the month.
Popular destinations are New England (estimated ten million People penetrate the locals during the “leaf season”. Northern Vermont, New Hampshire and Northwest Maine reached the peak in early October. New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania follow a little later a month.
The timing is everything in the case of sheet peeping. This is the main reason why it is very difficult for the incurable planner in your family to deal with a leaf outdoor trip. The timing of summit The season is difficult to predict and therefore you have to remain a little flexible in travel plans. This is a simple advice, but the external planning makes more than a little difficult.
According to the website, you have to explore autumn that you need to know when leaves normally Change in the area you want to visit. From there you can use a real-time autumn vacation card (yours is my choice) to see how exactly leaf gibe follow the historical norms.
From this point on, it is about rolling the river and adjusting schedules accordingly.
As soon as you arrive your goal, compete with cars, vans, motorhomes, campers and other peepers. Here is the same advice that I would offer a photographer who would like to take pictures without fighting against crowds. Thing in the early morning (in front of the masses are up and off) or in the late afternoon, in the early evening. Both times offer amazing, diffuse lighting. You may not notice it, but great photographers do not pursue astonishing pictures, they grasp great lighting.
Something else …
It is worth remembering that “winter” only officially begins until winter solstice (December 21), but that does not mean that there are no “winter conditions” with which you can deal with.
According to the farmers' almanac, the coldest conditions in Neugin and in the northern levels are likely. The regions of North Central State and Great Lakes are the most likely candidates for “snow -covered, classic winter weather”.
Those of us in the south-east, southwest, Texas and the Southern Plains will probably have a more damp, normal winter “snow events”, but frequent cold rains, frozen precipitation and occasionally cold snapshots.
Here is the official Almanach forecast for farmers for this winter. Image with the kind permission of farmers Almanac.
“Most of the country works for a cold or very cold winter that almost goes back to an old -fashioned winter.” Farmer's The editor Sandi Duncan told the USA. “It will cool down, it will snow, then it could warm up a little, then it will be repeated.”
Brrrr…. We will keep you up to date.
