Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:05]IT IS BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE SUMMER AND IT’S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE IT ACROSS THE STATE, EVEN ON TOP OF MOUNT WASHINGTON.

[00:00:12]JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

[00:00:14]ON SUNDAY, THE OBSERVATORY HAD A RAINBOW PEEK THROUGH AT SUNSET, AND THAT’S LIKE A FULL ONE THERE.

[00:00:19]ALTHOUGH A REMINDER IT’S NOT QUITE SUMMER YET BECAUSE THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE CROWDS IN THE CLOUDS, THAT IS, AND THEY HAD FREEZING RAIN.

[00:00:25]FREEZING RAIN IS PROBABLY THE REASON IT DOESN’T HAVE LIKE THAT SPAN OF COLORS THAT YOU COME TO A COMPANY, AN OFFICIAL RAINBOW, THERE’S PROBABLY A LITTLE ICE THAT IT HAD TO SEE THROUGH.

[00:00:35]IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE A DOME.
