Answer 3

Depends on how far north. In the UP the leaves begin to change in mid September. In the Northern Lower Peninsula, the leaves begin to change in late September and in the southern lower peninsula they begin to change in early to mid October.

Of course, this is all subject to the weather conditions that year.

Answer 4

Yeah they should start changing in mid-October.

Unless your talking about the U.P.- they should be falling by now.

Answer 5

It depends on the weather. If it gets cold early the leaves change earlier. Check out wjr.com for the fall color change report. They will have 'peak' season times for the best viewing.
