When Will the Leaves Change in New York?
Only 40 to 50 percent of the trees have started changing color so far.
According to the state's leaf tracker, many parts of New York have hit their fall foliage peak.
That's less the case in New York City and Long Island, where it's not quite halfway there.
The leaf pattern is not much different from last year. When Hurricane Sandy hit the area on Oct. 29, 2012, the trees were mostly lush with still-green leaves.
According to the state, areas upstate such as Ulster County and the Catskills are far better places to take in the season change now. Up there you'd be lucky to find a green leaf at all.
