Down here in OKC, they predicted a 4-6" snowfall.

We ended up with a slight dusting this morning.

I've never heard thunder accompany snow. But Thundersnow sounds like Geronimo's great nephew.

We're getting the opposite. They predicted less than an inch for this area and we're already close to 2 or 2.5

It's been getting hot lately so the snow is now rain. Arg I hate rain. I can't say I've ever seen thunder snow though, only heard of it.

hehe....uh, I hope you're being facetious.

:laugh: damn you beat me to it, by a lot

I've never experienced Thundersnow, but would love to one day.

And did you see lightning at all? Is it really obvious, or hard to see?

I have seen thunder & lightening during a bilzzard once in my life, it was cool but you could only see a flash, which meant it was pretty damn close.
