Thundersnow!
By amusings - 2/10/08 - 1:44 pm
1:35pm, sitting here on the PC reading my blogs for the afternoon and WHAM! huge flash of lightning followed immediately by the thunder. They weren't kidding this morning when they said we'd get some.
It is snowing like mad right now... but in the last 5 or so minutes haven't heard another rumble or seen another flash.
anyone else getting a dose of the thundersnow?

Big booms in Georgetown ...
Big booms in Georgetown ... Too bad, we were going to go sledding.
georgetown, right next door...
i'm in groveland, so we are neighbors. sorta.
do you sled at veasey in groveland?
Mother Nature is feeling a bit conflicted right now
Yep, we got thunder down here in Roslindale. Lots of wind, too, along with what looks like a mix of rain and snow. All that's missing are the hailstones the size of baseballs ...
Much lighter now
Phew, so we can take cooped-up kid over to Ron's in Hyde Park for some bowling/ice-cream eating.
Thunder and Lightening oh my
We just got two booms here in Newton and a wind whipped frenzy of snow!
Boom!
We had the thunder and wind and blinding snow in Melrose, too!
Yep, crazy snow whatsit in Melrose
That was wild. Fun while it lasted, though, since I was inside and don't have any reason to be outside unless I want to be.
It got so dark, too!

Quick in, quick out
It whipped up between the time I parked my car and walked (ran) into Russo's in Watertown... and the sun was out before I'd finished shopping. Very strange.
Now Sunshine!
Sometimes the cliches about New England weather ring true.

holy crap
I'm in the South End right now, and these squalls are borderline apocalyptic.
It's back
We're getting a second round of it right now, as I type this, near Davis Square.
Hyde Park, too
Made me glad we were nice and toasty inside Ron's ice cream and bowling alley. Horizontal snow!
A third squall here in Davis Square
No thunder this time, but plenty of nearly horizontal snow right now.
Wowsers!
I was sitting in the bar at 647 and all hell broke loose a couple of times... Rain to snowsquall to sun to thundersnow (at around 4 PM) to sun then darkness (as the sun set)... Now it's snowing.

Evan watched downtown disappear.
I'll be sure to wear some flowers in my hair
Wow! Snow sun snow sun squall squall squall. Did anybody see the Snowbow? We had one in Medford, off to the East. It also generated some hemispherical prismatic light effects that had us all grooving around 5pm.
I almost regret letting my birthday boy pick a restaurant 1/2 hour away given the driving conditions. Major squall in the Belmont area around 7pm that made the roads treacherous. Route 2 was down to 20mph or less.
Not to mention my family isn't happy with my humming every time the car skidded a little or that howling wind bit into our faces ... It's 65 in SFO and I'll be there by noon PDT tomorrow for much of the week. Bike friday will travel too!
