Foliage in the Greater Niagara region will range from near peak to past peak this weekend. Expect peak colors this weekend in Niagara County, where leaf peepers are projecting 90 percent color change and a predominance of yellow/gold leaves highlighted by orange and red. The best viewing should be in the Niagara Rivera area from Niagara Falls downriver through the communities of Lewiston and Youngstown. Much of Orleans County should be near peak, with about 75 percent color change and yellow, red and orange leaves predominating. Erie County will be just past peak by the weekend, as will Wyoming County, which experience rapid leaf change over the past week.
Chautauqua-Allegheny
Most areas of the region are now past peak, although some good colors remain in Cattaraugus County, including areas of Allegany State Park, where you’ll spot red, gold, yellow and bronze leaves of average brilliance. The hardwoods are 90 percent changed, giving additional color to the hillsides. Foliage spotters in Belmont in Allegany County project near peak to peak foliage, with bright red, yellow and orange leaves.

Monday October 29th. and we finally got our first killing frost out in the Boston Hills. 31 deg. at 6:34. That should get rid of all the left over green.
Colors are looking very nice now. Grab your camera and take a relaxing ride and enjoy!
