We're looking forward to some rain this week, but we're a ways behind[0]. If you have New England fall foliage plans, you might want to move them up if you can.
Advise leaf peepers to skip my town and just stay in NJ ;)
I could have sworn this was a biochemical incident sunlight, and yet the leaves are changing over a month earlier than every other year in recent memory.

The biochemistry of photosynthesis is wild. The fact that these are mobile power stations that plants remove from the frontline for winter is mind blowing. (The closest I can think of would be your eyes shipping all of their retinal into your liver or whatever while you sleep.)
Seattle in the summer and western Pennsylvania in the fall.
