Forest Service Cam offline since 6/24/21

Oct 8(Fri)

Clouds and fog along the eastern Alleghenies to start, some sun elsewhere. Then building clouds with localized areas of rain. Some heavy.

Bittinger 2nw Valley

A fair amount of maple leaf drop today, and some birch. The last few days has seen a pretty good maple drop that will likely continue. In these predominantly maple, birch areas, peak to just past peak is now and very close to being well past if we get some rain. What you have then is sporadic color mixed with remaining greens, browns of the oaks with most vibrant colors done for the year.
