I live in upper MI and thunder snow is a normal occurrence. It is a cool phenomenon tho.

@LuvmyLab   Look up Jim Cantore from the weather channel experiencing "thundersnow" on youtube.  You will get a good taste of what it is!!   

We've had it in New England but it doesn't happen often.  It's actually pretty awesome.

@patbz.  We had it in the Albuquerque area about 6:30pm along with rain but I didn't have either at my house.  It preceeded the cold front.  I'd love some rain.

We've had thundersnow in Western NY at least 2 times that I remember. The first was in November of 2000, just before Thanksgiving and the second was the October Surprise of 2006. They were both weird occurences but the October Surprise was horrible. All night long all you heard was thunder and lightening, cracking trees. The trees still had all their leaves and the added weight of the snow destroyed many trees. Thousands were without power, some for weeks. The strangest thing about that storm was that since it was still October, the temperatures rose quickly and by the end of the weekend, all the snow melted and all that was left was the devastation left by the storm.

We have it during blizzards.  It is unusual, but yes lightning does happen.

I don't know what it is but I was born and raised in So California and I am now housebound in the PNW because of Covid and the snow....

@Kachina624     Thank heaven the jet stream took the winter storm past us to the North.    I wouldn't have "made it" in that cold.   My heat pump refuses to work if it's less than 44°........(and I've been freezing enough this winter......not that I'm looking forward to summer or anything!)    di

@Desertdi.  You would have been in a bad way.  Its was 18° at 2pm today.
