The conventional wisdom is that this won't be a particularly good year
for color in New England. Not enough stress? Personally, I've figured
that a wet summer (which we had) and a dry autumn is the recipe for
color in the fall.

Dan, some friends and I are leaving central PA on October 18 or 19,
going to Owls Head, Maine, and then on to the Canadian Maritimes.

Any chance there will still be any color that late? We couldn't leave
any earlier.

I flew from Boston down through the NYC area over the weekend. Up around
Worcester/No. CT the leaves were about 30% turned but not much South of
that. Boston still is pretty green owing to warmer temps on the water.

I suspect you'll still see color but more towards the southern part of your
trip and along the coastlines. I hear it was pretty well underway in NH last
weekend.
