In Focus: Rockland

Leaf peeping season at hand

September

Feeling autumnal today? Yup, it’s now officially fall (so will we get a little Indian summer and

A leaf falls on the grounds of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades

finally have that warm weather we missed most of the summer?!?!)

According to the ILoveNY.com foliage report, there’s plenty of leaf peeping to be had in the Adirondacks and Catskills. According to their map, Rockland is still solidly in the green zone (no change) with the very western edge, just past the Thruway around Route 17 emerging into the yellow zone (just changing). I have seen a couple trees beginning to change already (one along Route 59 in the Central Nyack area, but just that one. Then again, I’m often driving, so it’s best that I’m not leaf-peeping through New City or along Route 306.) So, are you seeing some orange, yellow and red bursts in Pomona, or near Bear Mountain? Maybe regular commuters are enjoying a more colorful commute up the PIP? Our foliage forecast is for the very end of October.
