When I first came to Massachusetts in the early 1990s the three-day Columbus Day weekend was the traditional peak of the autumn color season. No more. Today there's hardly any color to be seen, anywhere.
It's true we've had a dry summer and will probably have a short season of color but the peak of it will still occur, and if recent history is any guide, occur in probably three weeks, maybe four. It's drifted, slowly but steadily, later by almost a month in the last 20 years.
If that's not a changing climate I don't know what it is.
