Patches of snow, also while the winds were very strong overnight across the high ground, there was frost on the Glades, to me, indicating winds were calm here.

Still some foliage left on this side of the mountains Also, this area from the Allegheny Front and east had hill top fog with a low ceiling through the area.

Walker Ridge to Jordan Run and the east side of the Sods

Still overall a lot of foliage left through this area. Its not until you are almost to Bear Rocks before all the trees are defoliated. .

Across the Sods and down…

Foliage is 90%+ gone from the Sods, except for beech which linger all winter and some yellow look as on Aspen. Sone oak lower mainly…The lone red patch which I detailed on October 26th, still has some nice reds, but less than 4 days ago.

Through Canaan..

Foliage story the same here, undergrowth beech holding on and some aspen. Remember no oaks in Canaan(besides a handful literally). 95% bare

Davis to Blackwater Falls State Park

Foliage is pretty well gone here now as well….

Blackwater Falls at 75cfs noon 10/30/19

Back to the Bittinger area

Foliage besides oak and undergrowth beech, pretty well done here as well. Hopefully everyone disregards the maps that shows the area is currently in peak fall foliage. If you are expecting that, plan to look at your feet.

Wheres the cam???

Without pics to add in this section, I’ll fill it in with a cam location detail. The Canaan Cam as I refer to it as, technically a forest service cam listed as the Dolly Sods cam. It covers a view of western Cabin Mt in the distance and that’s the only relation to Dolly Sods for this cam. It offers a great view of Canaan Valley from Bearden Knob just over 3800′

Deep Creek Lake area

Fog had the lake socked in to start the day. That helped create some cool scenes with the fall foliage that remains around the lake. Mainly dominated by oak foliage at this point with some undergrowth beech that holds foliage into the winter. The red oaks currently, and surprisingly have some bright golden foliage in spots. Typically, at least in my opinion, they are usually blah, dull and to brown. This year has turned exceptional for some of them.

Bittinger area to Grantsville

The main foliage left is oak. It’s not nearly as dominant in this area as around the lake, therefore the appearance is now a much more bare look as the rains of yesterday brought down a lot more foliage. Still undergrowth beech, birch is pretty well bare, maples too, some yellowish brown hickory, burgundy white oak and some again, surprisingly golden colored red oaks.

By Clarysville on I68

Still ok foliage, but vs last week, the rain brought a lot down

Around Mcconnellsburg

First topo and google earth image 522 north towards Mcconnellsburg, 3rd and 4th image 522 south of Mcconnellsburg

Up and on and over Tuscarora Mt and around Cowans Gap State Park

A scenic mountain with a big feel. Rising 1600′ above Mcconnellsburg (1300′ gain on Rt 30) on the west side and nearly 1800′ above the Valley east. On top, it “feels” high given the elevation of the surrounding farmland. A rugged steep area. Lots of great views. Color was really good as well.

Also noticeable was the higher Valley on top between the 2 ridges where Little Augwick Creek (Cowan Run) flows. Vegetation of white pine and hemlock were noticeable likely indicating a colder area vs the surrounding locations.
