St Louis metro weather reporters predicting Thunder Snow. What on earth is that??? Guess, I’m going to find out soon.

Thunder snow is essentially lightning and thunder occurring with a snowstorm and is eerie to experience. The snow kind of muffles the thunder sound so it does not as much rumble and roar. Instead, it kind of thumps.

Thundersnow, while rare, is just that—snow so heavy it can actually generate lightning strikes. Usually takes in excess of 3-4 inches per hour snowfall and relatively warmer (near freezing) temperatures.

I've only seen it a couple of times. It's a snow storm with some thunder and lightning. Really strange.

Yesterday the prediction in Dayton, OH was for an inch of ice. Apparently the ice line has moved north and we're supposed to only get about a quarter of an inch.

Thunder and lightening which happens during a snow storm. Really super cool.

Thunder snow is pretty cool. We had some here in SE Pennsylvania last week. I didn't know it was in the forecast, and when I saw the first flash of lightning, initially I thought it was a fire or transformer blowing. The rumbles and lightning during a heavy snow are muted but dramatic nonetheless.

Thor's Hammer slamming down. Someone must have gotten the Nordic Pagan Gods very upset. Suggest we should start sacrificing AGW virgins, but I do not think there are any left.

Here is a real ancient silver pendant combining the Hammer of Thor in the shape of the cross of Christ. Rather interesting.

And another ancient silver pendant of Thor's Hammer.

BTW - Thursday is named after Thor. Actually means Thunderday. Thunder is another name for Thor. So Thunder Snow is Thor's Snow. Perhaps the ancients were not quite a crazy as they look ?
