Same problem here. VA is never as spectacular as NE since the temp. difference is not as extreme, but this year had been particularly mild. Drat.

Apparently, they're quite spectacular a couple of hours north of here in the Muskokas. 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 "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
