Here in NC, our trees are already turning, too. It's really quite odd. My husband and I were commenting tonight that it looks about six weeks early! What's going on??

I'm in central Maryland, and our leaves are also changing. The changing leaves take their cue from the changes in sunlight.
My husband knows someone who does satellite adjustments at NASA. He said there was a major earth/axis shift at the end of 2012, and they had to make large adjustments to the satellites.
In our area, for most of my life, the sunlight always started to "look like spring" during the first week in February. This year, it didn't look that way until the end of February/beginning of March.
And, usually the sunlight starts to "look like fall" around the first week in August. This year is started looking that way about three weeks earlier.
It seems the fall-winter season has gotten longer, and the spring-summer season has gotten shorter. I sure hope that doesn't mean it's going to be cold longer.......

I love when the leaves turn. It is so beautiful! I also noticed it is getting darker outside earlier. That caught me off guard. I was washing dishes one night at my usual time and I was like hey I can't see! Lol!

SW Pa we are having cool nights and days are in the mid 70s to low 80s. Very September like. I have seen a few trees turning color but just assumed they were not healthy and that was the reason.

No, I'm not but I had to travel through there today on the Palisades Pkway.
You should have stopped for lunch--I live right off the Palisades. I am going up to Bear Mtn. next week for the Wed. car show and to the zoo. I wonder what things will look like in a week.

We had a bit of rain and thunder for a short period yesterday afternoon and it was so nice. The Bank I drive by every day showed the temp. at 4:30 yesterday afternoon at 79 due to the clouds ect... On Monday afternoon when I drove by at 4:30 it read 104.
Summer needs to fade away just a bit faster.

Do you think maybe we're in for a hard winter?

We live in NH, not far from Dartmouth College. There are some trees beginning to turn color.
