I’m a fall person. I love cool weather and the change of the leaves. I can’t help but think of our fresh local apple cider. I constantly get asked by people considering relocating to the Salem Oregon area about the weather. Now I have talked about our snow...and the city’s one snow plow, but people considering moving here from the east coast typically want to know “do you have four seasons?”
Yep. We do. Granted we get rain in the winter instead of snow, but I think the shift from fall to winter happens here. I was out walking around this morning and just took a few shots of our Salem fall. Personally, October in Oregon is one of my favorite times of year.
So rest assured…if you are looking to move here from a state where leaves change color…they do indeed change color here too.
The leaves caught me by surprise this year. I think it was about two weeks ago when I looked out the window and noticed the trees across the street had turned bright red and I was like, “When did that happen?!”
You know Rob it did seem fast this year. It also seems like they are falling fast this year. The colors are just brilliant right now.
The falls here are stunning. Way more colorful than Indiana . So many trees turn bright bright red. Love it!
Amy the falls here are much more brilliant than the midwest. I agree. The cottonwoods are some of the brightest red trees I have seen. They are just so gorgeous right now.
Melina,
Just wanted to say I find your blog very informative and interesting. I’ve been reading it for months. I live in Keizer and just read a couple weeks of posts. I love your analysis and how you use data. Yay Neutral Keizer Market!
Thanks Craig.
