For some reason, when I read this I immediately thought about how one
year all my classmate's voices suddenly couldn't make up their minds
whether they were boys or men. I *really* hope I'm not te only person
who thought this... o_O

I'm in the other side of the world (southern hemisphere), and I have
experienced strange weather.
Last year, in snowed in the middle of winter (for a single day). The
previous snow here was 50 years ago.
This year... It wasn't as cold as it should be, but just a week ago it felt
like winter had just STARTED (it should be ENDING in a few days).

You get extra fall colors from lots of sugar (glucose, really) in the
leaves just as they die for the winter. You get lots of glucose in the
leaves from lots of sunlight.
If it's not sunny when the leaves start their annual change, they won't
be too colorful.
Regards,
John

It snowed in Johannesburg last year. First time since 1981

The fall leaves colour also depend on the mineral salts present in them.

We are in the funny temperature range as well...
for the past week we've had good weather
~80F
Then yesterday 92F & very very humid - likely the worst all summer - I
felt like I was swimming.
Maybe it was the last stab of summer.

It looks like we actually will have a fall here - it's predicted to be
mid 70'sF here for the next week.
In some years it has been just as you described.
I remember one year where it was ~85F and high humidity and then
magically one day ~55F and very cold for the rest of the year. I
remember observing we skipped the 70F and 60F ranges entirely.
