Thinking more temperature and humidity changes. I've lived here 48 years and haven't seen anyone come to FL to watch the leaves change.

I generally know when I look around, leaves are brown, and the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

The annual "Fall Colors Ride" in North Georgia is typically the second week in November.

The sky is currently a hazy shade of death. This is worse than anything I've ever seen. Rain can't come soon enough.

Darkness, May, June, July I can leave for my morning ride at 0500 with just my blinking light. For the last 2 weeks I've needed my L&M Seca 2500 light for a solid 30-40 minutes before I switch it to blink mode.
