  4. Yep, we get thunder snow from time to time. Mother Nature, or the weather Gods, or someone up there gets very upset with the extreme weather conditions and lets us know it.

  5. We've had thunder snow here on occasion. Not in quite sometime though. I guess this means this weather system is heading east. Oh Happy Day!
