People who drive around Central New York to gawk at falling leaves this fall could be sorely disappointed. In years past, the leaves would be near peak color at this time of year. However, climate change has left its mark. The leaves are slow to change color and are relatively muted. My brother-in-law has been clearing trees on a property outside town for a future home, and he’s noticed that the leaves are just falling off the trees without changing color. Julian thinks that the trees are just scared that Stan is coming after them with the chainsaw. This pattern reminds me of what passed for autumn in Dallas. The trees might be colored for one day, and then fall off the trees.
