Thunder snow is creepy.
We had that a few times in lake effect.
We were out shoveling and saw the lightning.
That was it for the shoveling for us. Lightning doesn’t scare me much, but that stuff in the snow storms is eerie looking.
Was going to Swanton Ohio once to see my Dad and it was snowing when the sky lit up. Creepy is right!
How is it different? In Florida we can have violent storms - with lots of lightning - but it’s never eerie. Share some more...
South Suburban Chicago Update:
Looking at 4 foot drifts on my deck (faces south). Can’t find a spot that isn’t windblown to get an accurate measurement so I’ll guess we have about a foot at 22:40.
Thundersnow started around 21:00; about 20 flashes of lightning down here. Haven’t seen any since about 22:00. Had an electrical surge at about 21:40 so some group of homeowners is/was without power. Send up some prayers for the ComEd guys out in this carp. They may be union but, tonight, they are Americans too!
About to head out for the EMA gig, there from 0:00 - 04:00. I’ve been napping since 19:00. I’ll post an “official” snow amount for Romeoville at 04:00 before I get out.
I’ll take some “sun-up” photos of the neighborhood and post them after my “nap” in the morning. Have to be up for a conference call at 07:00...gotta earn that paycheck.
Y’all are in my prayers tonight. Pax.
