Go on a roadtrip! The eastern Sierra is absolutely GORGEOUS in the fall. Because I am closer to Tahoe, one of my favorite is Hope Valley, east of the crest outside of Kirkwood.
But all the way up 395 should be pretty spectacular.

The biochemistry of photosynthesis is wild. The fact that these are mobile power stations that plants remove from the frontline for winter is mind blowing. (The closest I can think of would be your eyes shipping all of their retinal into your liver or whatever while you sleep.)
I could have sworn this was a biochemical incident sunlight, and yet the leaves are changing over a month earlier than every other year in recent memory.
Am I crazy?
I might get out the leaf blower and try to gently give them a dry.
If you have a garage that isn't too much of a mess you can always pop them in and out of it during the worst of the wet.
I had heard the colors around Kyoto would peak in November, but I certainly didn't expect it to be so beautiful into December.
Seattle in the summer and western Pennsylvania in the fall.
There's something magical about the leaves changing color, crisp air in the morning, chilly nights with hot chocloate or apple cider.

We're looking forward to some rain this week, but we're a ways behind[0]. If you have New England fall foliage plans, you might want to move them up if you can.

Advise leaf peepers to skip my town and just stay in NJ ;)
