About 2-3 times a year we get snow with thunder and lightning. How common is this in the rest of the country? Yesterday between 4 and 5:00 p.m. it was snowing hard, the wind was blowing 25 mph and you couldn't see more than 50 yds. Along with came the flashes and rumbling of thunder. I had never of Snow Thunderstorms before moving here.

We have had some in NC also. We just had one a few weeks ago where we got 6-7 inches of snow just north of Charlotte. I have read where when you get snow thunderstorms it tends to snow more. Don't know if there is any truth to that or not.

I saw my first one when I was probably 13-15 years old. Bad snow storm and out of the blue also a thunderstorm. I haven't seen another one until this year. To be more specific last week, with the blizzard we had. It would have been right up there with a servere thunderstorm. Wicked lightning and the big ol cracks of thunder that if you aren't expecting one that loud could make you jump!

I did get a nice portrait of my better 1/2...or as Steve Smith likes to refer to them as: a close relative by marriage. Not Mona Lisa quality, but what the heck, she bakes a great chocolate cake.
