7. Wait 45 minutes and you'll have some thundersnow...
I've got it now. Also, whoever said 3-6 inches is a liar...I've got 5" now and it's supposed to snow until this evening.

18. Expect a foot at least
Here's what we got overnight--from bare ground to more than a foot by this morning. I do believe this is the same system a-comin' for you...

Lived in CO my whole life, and I never remember hearing that as a kid. WTF is going on with the world?

4. Not uncommon in Buffalo, NY
Just off the great lakes.

The muffled sound of thunder through snow is pretty cool.

5. I take it that's unusual?
Us southerners don't speak snow. :)

8. Thundersnow is about as common as tornadoes on a sunny cloudless day...
Edited on Wed Dec-31-08 11:24 AM by Chan790
it happens but not all that often.

ETA: Thundersnow is a lot less dangerous though. It's almost always cloud-to-cloud lightning.

9. No, you're thinking of frog-hail.
When frogs fall from the sky, it's time to hide.

10. I remember it once...
During a snowstorm, thunder and lightening...about 30 years ago.
Very strange indeed.
