Two windmills covered during #IceStorm in #Wisconsin. #Icicles in line with blades, which were rotating in wind & rainwater was flung out from center while freezing. Icicles longer below where water was not flung off as much, just dripping. . Hailey Schuh, Rory Peterson #ChimeIn

Have you heard? Then sound up! Red bellied woodpecker goes after security camera near #baltimore. Must have been bugs in the software. We don't know when it started, but we know how long this clip is before it gives up and flies away. . Brian Peterson via #chimein

Sit down, Barney Gumble. The real Plow King is the MBTA commuter train. Our meteorologist, Nick Russo, took this early Mon. afternoon at the #Mansfield #MA station. (He was safely away from the tracks in the designated safe zone). #BlizzardOf2026

Best in snow! We get lots of videos of big #dogs doing #zoomies in snow, but not of a #Pomeranian going along for a hike. This was recently in #Maine just before sunset. Training for the big leagues, that little one! *in Fred Willard's (RIP) voice* Melissa Warren via #ChimeIn

Sometimes with your sleet and freezing rain, you just gotta have a thunderstorm, too! This clip was sent to us from #Clio, #Michigan. This is the same storm system that also moved through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and parts of New England on Friday. . Credit: Carrie Burger

Easy-come, easy-go snow: timelapse from camera at #LickingCounty Regional Airport in #Heath, #Ohio, shows how it took some time for wet snow to stick just before sunrise, then after sunrise it melts and dries out quickly. (video silent, repeats once). .

Friday, November 7th, could be the hottest November day on record for #Austin #Texas. Meteorologist Avery Tomasco explains how this is going to occur "thanks" to an approaching cold front (what?). Worth watching even if you don't need a local Austin forecast.

#Bolide over the southeast U.S. on early Tuesday morning. A bolide is a very bright #fireball #meteor that explodes in the atmosphere before reaching the ground as a meteorite. It's sometimes accompanied by a #sonicboom. This is security cam video from #Alabama. Credit: Katie Midgett

Isolated rain squalls developed near and went through #WashingtonDC & #AlexandriaVA this morning on the back edge of a cold front. This is the way they looked from a rooftop in #ArlingtonVA, followed by a simple doppler radar loop showing how small they were (despite the intensity) @metmattritter

A large #dustdevil formed near #SanAntonio under a mainly clear sky and during a hot, dry afternoon (as is when most dust devils form). Very annoying in the middle of soccer. As large as it was, the dust devil dissipated quickly. . Credit: Laura Gonzalez via #ChimeIn (silent video).

This very bright but shallow #rainbow was spotted on Tuesday near #Yakima #Washington, and there was a faint secondary, also. We don't know if it was sunrise or sunset, but note that the sun was very low in the sky and was behind the video taker. . Credit: Evangelina Aguilar #ChimeIn

First serious post on this platform is this sun pillar this morning in Hilton, NY. [Credit: Denise Duffy] This phenomenon happens when the sun is below the horizon and the direct light reflects off perfectly aligned ice crystals acting like itty bitty little mirrors.
