Snowmageddon 2011

And we have thundersnow! Okay, it was just one bolt of lightning and one crack of thunder, but it was still pretty cool.

I have west facing windows, and the wind gusts have been strong enough to shake my curtains. I live in a brick and poured concrete building. The wind has also embedded so much snow in my screen door that I can't see out of it at all. It's just one solid sheet of white.

We were a bit like you: 1 bolt of lightning, a crack of thunder, and that was it for the thundersnow. We've got a 2 1/2 foot drift up on the back deck, though. The spouse and kid are home today, and, as for me, that's the only problem with my telework agreement. I don't get snow days.

About an hour after I made this entry, there was a period of more thunder and lightning. Maybe half a dozen flash/bangs altogether.

I'm glad you're all ok. We didn't get any thundersnow, but we have some amazing drifts. Stay warm!
