It’s highly unlikely you will end up seeing some sort of impressive crater; after a bolide detonates you get a lot of small pieces that reach a fairly low terminal velocity in freefall, and just sort of go kerplunk (incidentally, they land at room temperature from cooling while falling, so no fires.)

Incidentally there now is apparently a video of a burning natural gas crater in Azerbaijan (since a well accident in 1971) that is making the rounds as a supposed crater from this; don’t be fooled.

Someone's trying to hoax with a crater without a trace of snow in sight for miles. Might be the same video.
