Curtain going down

Observers reported a general trend of colors emerging randomly this fall. The seasonal backdrop of leaves being transformed into a breathtaking spectacle of nature never got in sync. Foliage was befuddled by drought, flooding rains and only minor intrusions of crisp frosty air. Gale force winds scoured the trees of leaves in central Minnesota on Tuesday.

The spotlight cast by the Hunter’s moon will soon dim as well as the curtain goes down on the best of autumn.

Check out the expert’s report for observing fall colors on this last weekend in October.
