This episode of the Hilltown Family Variety Show is an hour-long musical exploration of weather with guest DJ Alison Faith Levy. Alison has selected songs from a wide range of weather-related topics, from wind to rain, tornadoes to snow, sunny days to stormy weather, and a fun introduction to meteorology and climate. With in-between commentary songs, Alison gives us a music-integrated approach for families with young children wanting a fun way to start their place-based learning adventures, beginning with the weather.
