I live in west central Ohio, and have a small farm in NE Ohio.
Here at home dry and we have been in a drought for a couple months after very wet spring and early summer. Leaves just turn brown and drop…no color.
In NE Ohio we get Lake Effect (snow belt area up at the lake almost tonPA - snow and rain off the lake) and I’ve at least had to keep mowing there through summer and fall, but it’s much dryer than normal. We Can walk across our riverbed as of last weekend and barely a trickle in our streams. Very little color up there. Maples have some red, but not much and leaves are dropping.
Only good news is it could be crunchy for deer season…they should sound like a bunch of horses coming through the woods so should be none sneaking under me.
No frosts yet at either location this fall, but we are seeing upper 30s at night, so should be soon. (Harvest moon was this week so it should be prime time in the woods very soon)
