The countdown is on.

With fall’s arrival come countless predictions of when the Northeastern U.S. will begin its kaleidoscopic display of colors—and this year is no different. Except that, well, it is.

For one thing, a dry summer has experts predicting a particularly short leaf peeping season, with an early onset and slightly less vivid colorations. If the Farmer’s Almanac is to be trusted, New England and the Mid-Atlantic will start to glow in shades of amber and bronze in less than two weeks, sending locals on leaf peeping frenzies from Maryland to Maine. But the Almanac works on long-range, annual predictions, so it’ll be more essential than ever to consult local foliage forecasts to guarantee a good show.
