I understand that what makes the colours vibrant and long lasting, is a large differential between nightime lows and daytime highs. We haven't had that here. It was cool days and evenings, then last week, warm days and evenings. Up north, apparently they had the right mix.
I don't think rainfall has as much to do with it as temperature.
cheers, frank

Very short fall here in Chicago too...mostly last weekend. We had little color last Sunday, but peak by Friday/Saturday. Then Sunday, the trees lost half their leaves. Quite odd... Regards, Bob S.
