Not the prettiest or interesting ending to October

This also probably will be the most Fall Color that we'll see this year.
Most of the trees in our area brown up & just drop their lives. Or else they have the leaves prematurely blown off without changing color.

"Here are the conditions that contribute to a poor Fall Leaf Color season: 'Fall rain fronts and long overcast periods diminish color presentation. So do strong wind storms that blow the leaves from the trees. Freezing temperature and hard frosts stop color formation dead.'" Thought.com

As of today, we still haven't had a first frost. Just lots and lots of rain, wind, and overcast skies.
