I can hear the beautiful crackling thunder.
Now you can see it too.

edit: swapped video client
Cool video but the ads and other suggestions on that site are super nsfw, or 7 year olds sitting near by.
I just turned off uBlock Origin and… yeah, you’re not wrong.
I don’t regularly upload videos (if at all) so I’m not really sure of ones that work well. It was more or less the first one that worked when looking for a client that you could upload a 200MB+ video, sans account.
If you have one I’ll swap it.
That’s pretty good definitely top 5, but I’ll go with a quiet night after it snows and not even the plows are out yet.
it has been years since last time I’ve seen snow irl.
The absolute silence of fresh snow. Heaven.
Yes this is it for me. Quiet winter night after fresh snow, with the orange glow of incandescent lights (not LEDs, fuck that). Being able to make the first footprints in the snow.
I like the first big night snow of the year when the sky turns pink from all the light pollution reflecting off the flakes.
I don’t like snow or winter though. :)
Haha… the pink sky is half the year where I live.
cries in urban car-hell pollution
THIS!
Give me the full storm. Thunder, lightning, rain pouring down like we’ve angered the gods.
And a nice glassed in balcony to sit in to watch the whole thing unfold. Perfection
Also, your hot beverage of choice.
As someone who works outside. Absolutely no thanks.
Yep. This just reminded me of hiking in New Mexico during monsoon season. Beautiful, clear mornings. Setting up camp and eating at night in torrential rains.
As someone who works inside… Why the fuck would anyone want this? It’s depressing AF.
It’s cozy when you’re inside
Same thought. Best wearher is dry, not windy and warm enough for a t-shirt, cold enough to keep you cool. Sometimes jacket weather is good if you need to wear one for protection
Sunny, snow covered, and cold AF.
That’s gorgeous
Thank you. It’s a photo taken from my deck.
Can I live on your deck please
Under it you mean
Nothing better than when you can smell the cold!
This photo smells like petrichor, and I love it.
I miss Midwestern storms. Wind that’ll take you off your feet, the smell of tornadoes, the storm head like there’s an ocean in fhe sky and the world’s about to end… Gives me something fierce of a headache but beautiful as it gets.
I love the pnw and overcast and slightly rainy is great, but without a little attempted murder how am I supposed to feel like the sky loves me?
Moving from the midwest to PNW was weird this way, it was midway through the summer before I looked at the sky and thought, we’ve never had a storm here, not a flash of lightning or a rumble of thunder. Just pissy rain every morning that clears up into a lovely, chilly afternoon.
I fucking miss thunderstorms since moving to the pacific northwest. They are sadly very rare here
We had one night a couple years ago with more lightning than the total I had ever seen in my life before (and since) then. I’m guessing it was like a weak storm in the Midwest.
I remember watching with delight a hell of a thunderstorm rolling in over Elliott Bay sometime between 2018 and 2020, wonder if it was the same one?
Very likely!
It lasted for something like an hour near me (South of Seattle, don’t want to be too specific)
Mine is rainy October-November, so essentially now is ideal.
Give me a nice overcast day at like 5C so I can wear a sweater and I am loving it outside. No sun glare, no sweating, good times.
I can feel the barometric pressure dropping.
darkling skies and the scent of rain on the breeze
The moments before a massive thunderstorm, that feeling of tension just before the heavens break open.
I like that too, or maybe five minutes from that
