Can confirm. North central VT a lot of brown/leaf drops very early without even rain. Of which, with this morning's 0.25" we are at 1.08" for Sept after 1.72" in Aug. That said, there are some reds developing and a smattering of yellows.

Advise leaf peepers to skip my town and just stay in NJ ;)

But for any who still want to do it, rec that you check webcams at the various mountain resorts (Jay, Stowe, Sugarbush, KMart, Mt Snow, etc).
