I felt bad for all the folks heading south on I-93 (and there were a LOT of them). Many had driven right through the peak foliage area to hit points north that were well beyond peak (although they didn't miss much when we hit peak in the Meredith area...very disappointing colors).

I agree! I found it to be a little muted around the Lake, where as it is usually peak on Columbus Day Wknd. Still very pretty though, don't get me wrong; but other years, it has been more vibrant. I did notice that after Saturday night's frost in some areas, it seemed to pop with more color on Sunday & Monday though...
I think peak may have passed unnoticed and too quickly; perhaps due to this years weather? I also noticed a lot more bare trees and bare spots that there usually is this weekend. This is probably muting the colors...
Hubby & I went for a long ride yesterday (Monday) and I must say that south and west of the Lakes Region, it was very vibrant! We headed over to Plymouth and went south & west from there, ending up down by Lake Sunapee -what a beautiful show it was down there!
