Depending on the weather, the leaves in fall usually begin to turn in mid-September and reach their most colorful by mid-October. The Midwest usually gets at least one subzero cold snap every winter. For the rest of winter, expect temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Sudden snowstorms can make winter driving unpredictable and treacherous.
