Scenes of Vermont Forums

Arrived in NEK today, 10/3. Absolute peak color from Lyndonville north to Norton along Rt. 114. Jobs / Newark pond area is peak. Colors are strong and vibrant, trees look healthy. Reds are very prominent. Overcast and drizzle today, bur minimal wind, no appreciable leaf drop seen. St. Johnsbury is 8...

4. No traffic in Stowe, I went thru the light at that notorious intersection in a split second and all the construction appears to be completed widening the shoulders and/or culverts. Don't forget your rain gear!!!!!!!! Well ctyanky, if the Weather Gods were against you, at least you have the Stowe...

Great advice, that says it all

Hi ctyanky I'm planning on leaving home early tomorrow morning and being in the NEK by 9:00am. My plans are to go to Bean, Wheeler, Dolloff, and Jobs Pond (I love to photograph reflections), and then drive north to Norton Pond, and maybe as far as Averill Pond. I'll do Stannard Mtn. Rd on Thursday m...

ctyanky, thank you for the great report, this is wonderful news. It looks like your timing is going pay off after all. I'm glad that you are in foliage heaven !!! Other reports suggest that the trees look much healthier this year than last year, when stuff quickly went to brown and drop. Would you c...

Hi Hex: thanks for the wonderful report. I do have a question. I’m not familiar with Canaan Hill Road. It sounds wonderful from your description. Why is it not for the faint of heart? Is it because of the condition of the road? Do you suggest only a high ground clearance vehicle or could a regular ...

Enjoy your day in Vermont, ctyanky. Tomorrow is October 1, and let the best month of the year begin !!!

Here is a screen grab from the Killington summit webcam at sunrise on 9/30/18. No fog here this morning...

Hi Ed: Maybe I'll go to NH with Tim now on Wednesday the 3rd if it is looking great! We were planning on the NEK area. Things will move faster if we get a few, good cold snaps. Ugh, so much to see and do. Wentworth, if you go to NH, keep us posted!!! CT Ctyanky, that's okay, Pittsburg looks like it...

Wow the color in Pittsburg has had a very noticeable change in the past 3 days or so, it looks like everything up north is really starting to accelerate now.

Thanks for posting these images Carol, they are very nice. You managed to hit a lot of locations in a short time, which gives everyone a good idea of how things are progressing. Jobs Pond is looking good... I will head up the NEK on Wednesday, based on your images things should be in great shape by ...

...and killington is covered with fog again today. Is that pretty normal for this time of year? Was really hoping next week to travel up the gondolas at Killington and/or Stowe. That fog is there because it is lightly raining in Killington today. If you are in Vermont for about a week, you should a...

Good morning Ed. First off, it was wonderful to meet you Tuesday night at my camera club. Your presentation was excellent. Also, it was so nice to talk “Vermont” with you. You are correct. I am coming back up here again next Wednesday. Sorry for any confusion. When you come up next Wednesday there ...

Hi Carol, thanks for the report. My travel plans for the NEK were to go up Wednesday 10/3 thru 10/11. Based on this reports and what you are seeing, is that too late? When you told me that you were going up on Wednesday, I assumed that meant next week, not this week. I told you Jobs Pond was high on...

Below is the first foliage report from the state of New Hampshire posted yesterday on the Great North Woods. This should have conditions similar to the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. This cool weather finally seems to be getting things started.... "Wednesday, September 26, 2018 The foliage season is ...
