Thundersnow!

OK, so this just HAD to be blogged. I was just walking down the street after spending lunchtime in a room without any windows (at least that we could see). The snow was pouring from the sky when we made our way back outside. As we trudged through the fresh fallen snow, ice, slush, and soupy mess that pools by curbs at intersections, we noticed a flash coming from behind us. One of us thought it was a camera flash and asked if somebody just took a picture. I answered that I didn't think so, thinking it was probably the flickering of one of the streetlights just behind us. Certainly it couldn't be lightning. But then, sure enough, we heard the crack and rumble of distant thunder. It was a thundersnowstorm. In fact, as I'm writing this, another rumble of thunder has just made the sky shudder. More heavy snow. Breezy. And there it is again, this time further in the distance.

Never thought I would see that.. but then again, this has been a year of some of the craziest weather of all time, so I can't be too surprised!

More to come, for sure. Now time to go out and quasi-play in the snow...
