Trump's fault?

I suppose this means the East Coast snowflakes will have to come up with an even more over the top, exaggerated name for this. Atomic bomb cyclone??

Trump's fault?

Either that or global warming, no doubt.

Maybe sung to the tune of ‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC?

[eyeamok]

How does this happen in a time of Out of Control Global Warming that is threatening to set the planet on fire?

I love thundersnow. I am a retired prison cop and one night when I was still working we got a snowstorm. The snow wasn’t horrible so we planned to do our mid shift fence check. We were about to start when a close lightning strike and massive clap of thunder rang out. I got on my radio and said “ control, did you happen to hear that?” There was a pregnant pause...Control radioed back “affirmative, um, we’re gonna hold up on that fence check, copy?” I radioed back, “ probably a good idea,control!” LOL!

Yesterday, in my locale, we had SUNNY SKIES and a SNOWSTORM driven by 30-40 mph winds.

Or “Thunder Road” by The Artist Whose Initials are B.S.

Trump's Fault

That will be the headline when the San Andreas Fault slips a couple points on the Richtor Scale.

Shark-snow-nado.

’Nuff said!

Speaking of hype, when did we start naming nor’easters? When I was a kid, they were just “nor’easter’s”, they weren’t named like hurricanes.

And yes, we walked uphill both ways to school in the snow.

there is thunder, snow, and lightning
and since we're safe in this room
Let it boom!  Let it boom!  Let it boom!

What's in a Biblical 'misquote'? The lion and lamb dwell together in March:

March

Lion and Lamb

An English proverb describes typical March weather: (A Common Pennsylvania Saying)
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.[d][24]

In the 19th century it was used as a prediction contingent on a year's early March weather:
If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.[25]

March thunderstorms

When March blows its horn, your barn will be filled with hay and corn.

"Blows its horn" refers to thunderstorms. While March thunderstorms indicate that the weather is unusually warm for that time of year (thunderstorms can occur only with a sufficiently large temperature difference between ground and sky and sufficient amounts of moisture to produce charge differential within a cloud).[26]

It’s not even a Bomb Cyclone. What’s the big deal.
