Scott Harbaugh: Fall Leaves – Week 1

Every Friday in October I’m going to try to give you an update on fall foliage in the area.  Peak season in southwestern Pennsylvania is mid-October, so you can imagine there is not much to report this week.

I did notice a little bit of color in Latrobe the other day when I was at Latrobe Country Club for a fundraiser for the Latrobe Art Center.  Obviously, the Laurel Highlands will go first with the color.  However, I do have concerns with the lack of rainfall around here.  A dry end to summer and start to autumn usually doesn’t do us much good with the fall color.
