The cottonwoods behind our house were pretty much bare one year ago... which was really early.

They are still fairly green today...

It almost looks like you manipulated the saturation on this photo, but I'm guessing you didn't.

I truly didn't.    I do have a new Galaxy S20 though.

Galaxy S20? Wow. I swear they were just on the Galaxy 10. However, I only stick to Apple usually. Is that the phone that can bend?

I think they jumped from 10 to 20.

We switched to T-Mobile and I got a new phone for free out of the deal!

It confused me too, but that's what they did. They might have been concurrent with each other even.

Did you jump from Verizon? I had Verizon through work but we switched to T-Mobile and I was blown away at how much better it was.

Yep... switched from Verizon.

Fwiw the transition was crazy fast here this month. Will probably hold true up there too.

Was deep green 2 weeks ago. Now we’re at/beyond peak with many trees almost bare. Like a switch flipped.

Was also insanely fast here. Started late and now many bare trees.

18Z GFS looks almost exactly like the 12Z ECMWF... solid trend today towards troughing later next week.  

My condolences.

In the low 50s here, peaked at 54F. So weird seeing such a brilliantly sunny sky without the unseasonable heat that's been associated with it in the last couple months. Very refreshing.

Daytime highs have not been that anomalously warm.    Its just the normal change of seasons.

We were talking about hitting 90 and setting records the first week of October along with plenty of lingering smoke from the September disaster. An average high in Portland today is 61 and as of Sunday night they've only had one below average day, last Thursday. The fall colors are slow for a reason this year.

The warmest temp in Seattle this month has been 73.    And there have only been 3 days above 70 degrees.

I would not call that "heat".     I know some of you melt when its above 45 though.   :)

The first 10 days of this month alone produced 7 70 degree days in Portland, including hitting 80 on the second. The daytime heat wasn't as extreme the 10-20 but nights were still struggling to even get down into the 40s.

It was only the warmest first half of fall on record for many places. Totally normal :) (normal being my preferences)

He is north Seattle... not Portland.  

There has been not any "heat" this month up here.   Of course that is all subjective.

I don't see how you can acknowledge the slow fall colors but not what's causing it. Kind of strange. 

Lots of rain... and warm nights.     That is the main reason for the slow fall colors.  

When its really dry... the trees just turn brown and go bare early.    And it takes chilly nights to really bring out the colors.

That theory falls apart though when you see how dry it's been for much of the region. It's definitely the warm temperatures.

I consider "heat" to be anything above 80 degrees.

Seattle has touched 80 degrees one time in the last 6 weeks.   I don't remember much "heat" up here since about September 10th.    But again... its semantics.     You could tell the seasons are changing when its sunny during the day and only in the 50s... like today.

I literally have no idea what your tree colors look like down there... and the person making the comment is in North Seattle.

Its been a wet fall so far up here... particularly the last month.   That is lots of rain which saved the trees from going bare early from dryness like what appeared to be happening in early September.

Anything south of the Thurston/Lewis line is California.

Can we have a Seattle area discussion without considering that you live in a different state?    😀
