I traveled through Franconia Notch this weekend (10/8) and it was beautiful.  It seemed to be peak colors until around the Campton/Plymouth exit on I-93 as you are traveling south.  If the wind does not blow all the leaves away over the next day or so, you may be in luck in the central/southern part of the state. 

The lack of rain has not diminished the colors.

I traveled 100 and 108 in VT.  Truly stunning!  Another great route is 7 along Lake Champlain and shoot up to through the islands.  I tried that a few years ago. 
VT start and peak earlier than NH.  So I travel VT one weekend and NH the next.  In NH Rte 132 is a local favorite. 

That could be.  I drove to Franconia Saturday and spent the night at the skihouse at Mittersill and thought the foliage was fantastic from north of Plymouth up while under a totally cloudy sky.  The only problem was the rest of New England did the same.
