Strange ‘Out of Season’ Weather Detected in Orange County, NY
Winters in the Hudson Valley have become very unpredictable, some days it's absolutely freezing and other days you don't even need a jacket to feel comfortable. Each winter season can be very harsh here and sometimes it seems like the weather can have a mind of its own. Speaking of different weather, there were some reports of strange weather happening in Orange County last night and it's not what you would expect for this time of the year.
What odd weather was noticed in the Hudson Valley?
According to First Due Weather, loud thunder and bright lightning was spotted in the Orange County area last night. What? I love thunder and lightning because it reminds me of summer time and I always think it's a bit spooky when it rolls in. However, we usually don't get thunder and lightning during the winter season and it can be pretty rare when it happens. One of the things I miss about the summer season is a good thunderstorm, but it seems like it happened.
