Dude. What? I missed the thunder. But I have experienced thundersnow once or twice before and a friend from Kansas said it had happened a few times in her lifetime out there.

Unable to be missed...there was tons of it :) Lots of lightning (hard to miss in A's loft...all the windows all over the place...). So awesome.

Apparently, we were outdone.

I was talking to another cute chick at work last night, who moved here a couple of years ago from Kansas City. She was talking to her mom the other night during the snowstorm. Turns out they were having a real blizzard: driving snow coming down at a rapid pace with high accumulations and severe wind. Basically whiteout conditions.

The catch? The sun was out almost the entire time. And, apparently, not just peeking through the clouds, but bright sun.

Bright sun, in a blizzard. It's gone too far. The sun must be extinguished now, while we still have a chance! Rally, my sun-hating friends! Rally!

Nah...the sun? It just shines. It can't do anything else. It pretty much does what it does or it blows up...very uninteresting (if also unwavering as an opponent).

Snow, though, with lightning? Now that's cool. Shows that snow's thinking, you know? Evolving. Hitting you with stuff you wouldn't expect.

Next? Maybe airquakes. Or cloudolanches...

This entire post rates a 10 for excellence. Everything about it rocks. Especially the part about cloudolanches. :)
