Trees in the Rhine Valley in early November

What is the Rhine Valley like in terms of landscape during this time? Specifically any river cruises that run through St. Goar.

If there's snow, then I think that would be beautiful too. But it's the period in between when there's no foliage and no snow that I'd prefer not to see. I know it's being picky, but if I only have one chance to see this area of Germany, I wouldn't want to see it when there's no greenery.

In November temperatures are falling and the days get notably shorter. Temperatures around and little below 10 degree Celsius. Although it can happen that you have a bit more at the beginning. The chances to have snow in the Rhine valley in early November are very very low. November is probably not the most pleasant time to visit this place.

There are indeed cruises at that time. With KD you can go from Rüdesheim to St. Goarshausen and back. However, compared to the high and low seasons, the winter schedule is quite meagre:
