When we lived in SE Wisconsin we had three enormous sugar maples in our front yard. They held onto their leaves until the week of Thanksgiving, then they would drop en mass. Wouldn’t you know it; we usual got our first snow the day after Thanksgiving, which meant the leaves would spend the winter under the snow because you can’t mulch leaves that are under a couple feet of snow.
