Trees in northern Virginia began to turn colors in early September, although the usual time for leaf color would be mid-October. In the Bull Run Mountains, poplar tree leaves turned brown and dropped early. Some of the herbaceous ground cover along back roads was so dry that it looked like it had been sprayed with an herbicide.
