Anyone else noticing and extremely late fall?

[Michael Arnette]

Anyone else noticing and extremely late fall? The oaks are just starting to turn here in northeastern Oklahoma. Normally they start turning late October and are gone by the first couple weeks of November.
I'm not sure if it has changed deer movement much but it is interesting nonetheless

Michael, I've been noticing the same thing. I can remember many rifle season in Oklahoma where I have dumped bagged leaves at the farm after a morning hunt. This year. all leaves are still on the trees and a lot of them have not even, or are just now, starting to change colors. At least we finally got some colder weather. Tomorrows freeze will probably kick start the leaves dropping

72 degrees in Northern MI this afternoon. The bottom is dropping out tonight and we could have 4-6 inches of snow accumulation by Sunday night!

Yep here around the KC area for sure... was 75 yesterday. Heck my apple trees are still green, not a hint of color on them.   In years past I have pics of buck's I've harvested in northern MO with snow on the ground by now.

It was late here but the leaves are gone now.

Also in this side of the Big pond!

Here in Wyoming we had our first snowy, cold day yesterday. Before that we enjoyed temps in the 60s.

We had lightening last night, winter is here.  It is about time that we had a global warming fall, the sun ,which a is periodical dwarf star, has been on its upward cycle for a couple of years.  But alas, winter, the old faithful white pain in the ass is here.

I'd have to agree

I noticed leafs where hanging on longer then normal here in PA little warmer then normal to.

Same here in NC, but the meteorologist technoweenies with all their double Dopplers called it a month ago due to lack of rainfall.  They're all proud of themselves, but even a blind hog will pick up an acorn every once in awhile!

Same here, I picked a few strawberries yesterday before I mulched the plants. Cold front this weekend supposed to have lows in the 20s, about time.

   Hopefully this will help with a little more daytime deer movement.

Today was the first proper cold day yet.

[Trenton G.]

Yes, it's very noticeable around here this year. Hit the mid sixties here today, when a few years ago I remember snow around this time. It's thrown my hunting way off...ok, maybe that's just an excuse... but it definitely seems to have impacted deer movement, fall fishing, etc. Supposed to get cold this weekend though.

The storm  and wind quit, the rut is on.  Was thinking that i was going out early.  I got up too early because my neck is stiff.  So I thought a little huntin' music would wake me up.  Listened to this three times, NOW I AM MOST DEFINITELY READY, to go back to bed.

Don't mean to start a debate about global warming, but, this year has been the warmest on record. No scientific basis for my opinion, but that has to have something to do with it.

Normal Averages Hi/Lo for KY

Oct 67/47
Nov 55/37

While yesterday was pretty warm, so far much of Nov around here was pretty close to normal.

[Chain2]

We were 67 yesterday. It's snowing and 27 now with 25 mph wind.

[emac396]

I concur. I saw more deer movement in Oct than I have in Nov?? Leaving me scratching my head?

[Friend]

Coinciding with the late rut.
