A severe storm system moved through central Vermont on its way southeast this afternoon, producing a short-lived tornado warning and a shower of damaging hail.
While the tornado warning has expired, the National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for southern Windsor county and eastern Rutland county until 6 p.m.
Forecasters and storm chasers took to Twitter to document the storm, nostalgic, perhaps, for this year's punishing winter.
