Fall colors have begun to progress a little more rapidly in the past week. Despite fairly warm temperatures and sunny skies, the first signs of widespread color change have begun to creep over the hillsides with hints of fairly bright hues such as orange, red and yellow down here in Little Valley. According to the state, change has also begun in Binghamton, in-between the Finger Lakes, Albany, portions of the North Country, the Leatherstocking region, and throughout the Catskills and Adirondacks. Last week’s early-changers in the central Adirondacks are now close to mid-point. No noticeable changes yet in the I-90 corridor cities of Buffalo, Rochester or Syracuse.
