Cool. Or not. But from where I'm sitting thundersnow sounds quite awesome.

Very blue bright flashes, muted thunder. Easy to mistake for a transformer blowing, but for the rumble seconds later.(very glad not a transformer.)

18" blown on the back deck, easy. But it tends to be higher.

Thundersnow? Somewhere Jim Cantore (the Weather Channel guy) is doing a happy dance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Burrell! That sounds good.

Not sure why everyone says it is so rare; we seem to get it at least one storm every winter.

Egg sandwich with pesto and TJs quatro formaggio on a ciabatta I unearthed from the freezer. I need it after all that wine.

Loki's trying to figure out why half the window is covered...

Glad I filled the birdfeeder last night; the birds are quite enjoying it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Lots of snow, but no thunder here. Plenty of wind, though.

We're planning to make turkey chili in the slow cooker. Not like we could go out for dinner.

Looks like MA will be largely unscathed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've never had thundersnow! I'm jealous.

We have a foot of snow, more in drifts like on my patio, and it's still coming down, supposed to accumulate another 3 inches today. The next few days it'll be above freezing during the day and below at night, meaning the daily melt will turn to treacherous ice at night. This isn't going to go away by Tuesday, certainly not at my south-facing house.

There's something comforting, to me, about being snowed in (and safe, of course). No one can get in and no one can expect me to get out. If I had to get out for work, I would, but I'm happy to work from home and not get any snow days just to not have to dig my way out.
