A Mild Thundershower Video For Use This Winter

Nothing like a pleasant evening thunderstorm to help
us love summer even more

 It's hotter than blazes outside this afternoon as temperatures soar toward and above 90 degrees as we head toward the heart of summer.  

Soon enough it will be cold again here in Vermont. Even in a climate-changed world, winters are still long.  That's not to depress you, but to offer a little gift for when we're in the depths of winter. The Christmas season is only six months away after all.

Last Monday, when other parts of Vermont were on the receiving end of thunderstorms and over the border in Quebec they had tornadoes, there was a mild evening thundershower in St. Albans, Vermont.

There's nothing like the sounds, feelings and sights of a gentle thunderstorm. The flashes in the sky, the rumble of thunder rolling above the mountains, the muggy, heavy organic aroma to the air, the pitter-patter of raindrops on the leaves. It makes for a quintessential summer evening, and something to hang onto for the winter.

So, I made a video, which is below. Call it back up one cold winter day, and it will take you back to the gentle, humid warmth of summer. As always, click on the arrow in the center then the YouTube logo to make the video bigger and easier to see
