I've been sitting on the lovely porch of the Falls Village Inn in classic small town New England listening to nearly continuous thunder and lightning. I had a short hike planned this morning before catching the Metro North train back to NYC. When a storm comes in the middle of the day, my general approach is to hike on. I'm prepared for it. When the storm is at the beginning of the hike and I'm still dry from a comfortable night in a well restored village inn, then the decision to stay put for a bit seems wiser. Will the storm pass quickly? Will it rain all day? After 45 minutes, there's a hint of light in the western sky behind the clouds.
