What happened

The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.

A low pressure system near James Bay, Canada on the morning of July 1 moved east across Quebec. The associated cold front in the central Great Lakes Thursday morning, July 1st, moved into northern New York during the afternoon. The cold front continued east into northern Vermont during the evening of the 1st of July. Thunderstorms preceded and accompanied the front. Some of the storms were severe with large hail and/or strong winds. In Highgate, Vt, penny size hail was reported.
