The last time we had a thunder snow storm, it was my first memory of one. It was in March and ended as an ice storm. We were without power for days. I still remember the onset of the storm and thinking "there's not supposed to be thunder when it snows." It was a doozie, that's for sure.
we wound up with around a foot in 6 hours Man it really snowed.Could hardly see the 4 way stop half a block away most of the day,Flakes the size of quarters. No thunder, or lightning though, but the schools are closed so the kids are happy
