One thing to look forward to each year is the “fallen leaves art.” This year, too, one can find colorful leaves that resemble a painting.
Although the leaves are falling with more intensity now, it is still possible to find beautiful maple leaves in some areas.
However, given that snow tends to fall when the weather deteriorates at this time of year, people planning to go over a pass should put winter tires on their car. (Early this morning signs announced that cars with summer tires will not be permitted to travel over any of the passes.)
