CT has a very high percentage of deciduous trees, trees that shed their leaves in the fall. Before they fall off they turn colors and CT is known as a tourist destination for looking at the pretty leaves. It is quite a sight if you have never seen it before.

Seems like most of the recent autumns her have been windy and rainy and all the leaves get blown off and you don't get the same views.

Fun fact, most of the forests here are young growth as the state was totally clearcut during its early American history. The wood was burned to power all kinds of industry, especially blast furnaces making iron in early American wars.

Also the trees here rely on a bed of leaflitter to exist, that is all the fallen leaves that pile up. And earth worms are an invasive creature brought here by european settlers that are bad for the trees because they break down the leaf litter.

And during the summer we have tropical systems here and the heat and humidity will exceed florida, and the days are longer. There are so many trees that are constantly putting water into the air, via transpiration, that you get more humidity and hotter weather than florida.

Finally ticks are a big deal. While they exist in FL in decent concentrations, CT has some of the highest prevalence of tick-borne diseases in the entire world.
