Comparisons

Overall folliage season has come and across Spruce Knob and west, mostly gone for the season. Foliage was brief, not vivid and now lots of bare trees. Anthracnose I suspect played a big role. Any foliage maps that say anything lrss than past peak in this area, simply is not correct. Dolly Sods, the reds of the huckleberries, blueberries. While red-ish, peak is likely a week off. However some peaked in a few patches, and are falling off, some yet are half green. A very abnormal season. The trees across the sods. west of the Allegheny Front. Bare, to dull color, few greens. Again, poor season. Canaan Valley, not a lot of valley color yet, with some dull color and a few bare patches.
