Perhaps you haven’t noticed yet, but there are signs of fall beginning to show up all around us. The sun is setting a little earlier, and rising a little later. The birdsongs of spring and summer have quieted now as the birds molt before migrating. The last of the wildflowers: the goldenrod, the JoePye weed, […]
Jim Salge returns for the 2012 foliage season to provide Yankee readers with foliage forecasts. He’ll also be sharing his experiences as a photographer and providing you with great tips to help you take better photos. As a former meteorologist at the Mount Washington Observatory, Jim is a keen observer of the progression of the […]
Two feet of snow in falling October has brought about a bit of an abrupt end to the foliage season, but after one of the more atypical foliage seasons in years, I guess little would have surprised me. The season began with an over hundred year rainstorm, so why not end it with an over hundred year snowstorm. […]
I’m a day late in posting the foliage blog this week, but I’ve been playing chicken with the forecast of winter weather. Will it happen, how much will fall, where will it fall, how long will it stay, and will there be a second storm? All questions that have the meteorologists in the region anxious […]
“If you don’t like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.” The quote, originally attributed to Mark Twain, has been re-uttered by many and adapted to represent everywhere, but this weekend, the original intent rang ever true. A storm system over the far north continued to swing bands of clouds over […]
Has there EVER been a Columbus Day weekend in New England that nice? A full weekend of warm days, cool nights, fair breezes and endless sunshine was exactly what many parts of the region needed as the recovery from Irene continues. People were everywhere, enjoying the annual color display in numbers like I’d not seen in […]
The big weekend is upon us, and the upcoming weather forecast couldn’t look better. Finally, after weeks of dreary weather and near incessant rainfall, the skies are set to clear as a big, broad high pressure area moves in. The whole of New England, which has been cooped up waiting out this storm is ready […]
At long awaited last, the high to peak color is arriving in the mountains of Northern New England. To be honest, I’ve actually been quite surprised how strongly the color came on in the past week. The weather has been not very fall-like, and certainly not ideal for the colors to start popping. A strong, stagnant […]
The calendar officially changes from summer this week, and for the past week or so, it’s finally felt like autumn. In one clearing sweep from a sharp cold front last Thursday, true New England fall-like weather has settled in. Out of the closets have come the fleece and flannel, as the morning air has a distinct […]
I consider myself a naturalist, and I’ve found myself on a continuous quest to learn about and to experience all I can of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. I’ve been fortunate to have had some amazing experiences in the mountains, and my love of photography has grown out the desire to share some of […]
