| Snow AND Thunder/Lightning OK its snowing here (near white out conditions at the moment) but there's also been thunder and lightning.
Lewis Black once said when he visited Boston in the winter he looked out his window and "you have a certain expectation. and its not snow with lightning behind it"

| Re: Snow AND Thunder/Lightning I've stayed at cabins over 7000 feet of elevation in the Sierras in snowstorms...but never have I seen it snow so much in a night as when a NorEaster hit Boston while I was there on business. Wow. |

When were you here? Last year we had a ton of snow, broke records for the region.

| Re: Snow AND Thunder/Lightning When that "storm" passed through here it went through with a significant amount of thunder and lightning.
It just forgot to drop the snow.  |

It just forgot to drop the snow.  | haha. I'd say you should move back up here but the riding around here isn't very good really.

I expect to get crap about the weather during winter from you warm climate guys. It wouldn't be winter without it.

Only happened once, but it's definitely one of those crazy weather things that makes you sit up and go  |

| Re: Snow AND Thunder/Lightning Really...seriously? I've heard/seen thunder snow several times around here. Obviously the conditions have to be just right...

If it is any comfort to you guys it has never gotten out of the 50's here this week. Might get some 70 degree action this weekend though.
AND, ya know what that means......  This of course after spending two days in Newport Beach, Long Beach and Huntington Beach, come up the PCH through Malibu, Santa Monica and all those ummm BEACH places. Man, tanned senoritas along the shore.  Its just wrong but, oh so right.
Have fun diggin yourselves out. Think of it as your winter strength conditioning program. |
