!!!THUNDER SNOW!!!
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 09:48 AM by underpants
Yes last night we experienced a true weather phenomenon-a massive sudden flurry of snow with lightning streaking across the sky and huge thunder claps.

!!!THUNDER SNOW!!!

Right dead in the city of Richmond last night from 8-9PM. Think God is trying to tell us something. My wife and I were across the street at a Winter Solstice party (easily the most liberal crowd I have ever been around) so the obvious joke about God hating us for being a RED state wasn't mentioned....see it was a Winter Solstice party.

It just took me 45 minutes to drive 3 miles on a city street and before all you NAWthenuhs start talking about Southun drivers it is BAD!!! I just called my wife and told her that he doesn't need to even try getting to work until after noon.

A co-worker of mine wiped out on our slanted ice sheet of a parking lot. She had to be helped up, she literally couldn't get back up on her feet.

!!!THUNDER SNOW!!!

1. My colleague in suburban Baltimore experienced the same phenom
last night.

You guys got more snow than us, I think. We're just starting to see it pile up now.

10. We didn't get any 'real' accumulation
...but I did experience the Thunder Snow. Last time I experienced Thunder Snow, I was living in CT and it was also lightning. Quite a sight. And, even though no accumulation, school was delayed for two hours, woo hooo!!!!

9. What part of town are you in...
I'm in Ginter Park. We had the Thunder Snow last night and the "mystery booms" before that. Have you heard any of those?

11. We keep saying that the
mysterious booms are my friend Mike (notorious cheapskate) turning over in his grave because his wife won the holiday lights display in the neighborhood.
