We had a maple in our front yard. We'd have warm weather, in the 80s and 70s, and then a cold front would come in that would drop the mornings to the 50s or maybe 40s, and we'd lose all of the leaves on the maple in 18-36 hours. I remember once watching them over the course of a day go from green, to yellow, to brown and then falling all in the same day. But the end of the next day, the tree was bare.
