You can cover your ears and pretend not to hear it, you can cover your eyes and pretend not to see it, but you can't escape the fact that fall is almost here in Madison County. The cooler mornings and crisper evenings of late August are without a doubt wonderful, but that means autumn is right around the corner. Of course the best part of fall is the brilliant foliage we get to enjoy across the area. To that notion we will be starting up our weekly fall foliage reports on Thursday September 8th. Visit the blog each Thursday to see the forecast and some selected hot spots to visit to see the best colors in all of New York State.
