While it may seem difficult to believe, this photo was taken in Manhattan last week during my morning bike commute to work. Beyond the mighty Hudson River to the west are the palisades of New Jersey. Just a little to the right is the New York State line, so those red and brown tree leaves are almost in the Empire State. Not a bad sight to see on the way to work in the nation's most populous city, eh? I took this with my camera phone on a bike path near the Cloisters and Fort Tryon Park in the northernmost tip of the island. The leaves are now all brown or fallen on the ground. Locals say they've never seen the leaves turn so late in the year. Last year seems like they were all brown by early October. Hmmm...

Yep, usually by halloween, the leaves are down and the wind is whipping!
Remember, Sleepy Hallow is just twelve miles morth, Washington Irving, describe it the best when he tell of the headless horseman midnight ride.
No snow yet?
When is first snow?
Mark, our first snow usually start around the second week of December.
The earliest snow fall where a shovel was needed in my 58 years living here was Oct. 19, 1972.
The latest was April 12th, that was in the '70s too. But an early May snow shower is not unusal.
