It has been confirmed that Peterborough enjoyed an extremely rare thunder snow storm this morning.

By 10 o'clock this morning, there was over 15 cm (6 inches) of snow on the ground. It was still falling and blowing when a thunder snow storm rolled through.

Throughout my life, I've seen a few flashes of lightning and heard the thunder during winter, but never a full-fledged storm with several flashes of lightning and rumbles of lightning over a 10-minute period. I couldn't see the lightning, but the thunder sounded like a snowplough driving past.

It was pretty cool.

Here's a video of a weatherman encountering it:




And here's the same weatheman experiencing a déjà vu moment:

 
So there's 13 inches of snow (so far) on the ground where you're at and a massive blizzard in the Mid West and in New England....

Meanwhile in Copenhagen, they're discussing global warming...

We had heavy rains all day yesterday in Memphis, with flashflooding all over the place. I drove to town yesterday afternoon, and the fields on both sides of the road were flooded up to the road and the water was moving across the road in some places. Last night, I went outside about 3:00 in the morning to let the dogs pee, and the wind was blowing so hard through the trees it sounded like an airplane was about to land on my house. The way all the trees and bushes were bending and twisting in the shadows and the just the sound of the wind had me scurrying back into the house like a frightened schoolgirl. Today it's warmer and not quite so windy, but the temperature is expected to go down to 35 tonight.

And winter is still officially two weeks away....
 
Hello people.

It is winter.

And payback for a snow-free November where we live.
 
and in Buffalo NY...there is no snow...that's right folks...NONE! :lol:
 
Nighttime temps in the mid to low 20's. Daytime temps in the low-to mid 40's. 5 miles away 6" of snow, 20 miles away 12" of snow.....

And this is Sacramento, center of Californias' universe...Well mikey-in-herrin, ready to move back east yet?

lORD, i HATE COLD WEATHER. My modern medical science hip, elbow, shoulder and ankle hate it even worse. It's a good thing I still have original equipment behind the buttons of my 501's...Don't even want to contemplate what this weather would do there...laugh but not to much out loud....

Wonder what a plane ride to Sydney runs right now? Hell, make it NZ maybe JAG can get me a good rate on a beach front...oy, dream on,,this recession hasn't been very kind to my bank roll :cry::cry:
 
fire....fire...fire???

ok, the idea of rubbing two sticks together gets me warm and tingly but fires contribute to the Co2 problem and pollution in general

just sign me sun of a beach
 
I LOVE thunder snow storms. We occasionally get those in the Midwest as winter and spring duke it out in the sky. The first time I experienced a thunder snow, I thought the world was coming to an end! We just had a nice little blizzard - I think I'm an extreme weather junkie...
 
Only experienced a snow storm once, it was in London a few years ago, the sudden amount of snow brought everything to a halt. It was strange to have lighting and snow at the same time.
 
Somehow we lucked out here, with less than in inch of snow out of this whole mess. Nothing like the forecast, which had a lot of freezing rain changing over to 4-6 inches of snow.

As often happens here, the low went DIRECTLY over the top of us. Often that means less precipitation than if the low "brushes" us, because the major precipitation is often surrounding the low rather than in its center. If the low passes directly over, the heaviest precipitation is on top of us for a lesser amount of time, than if a large part of the arc of the precipitation band passes over.

There was some freezing rain, but around this time yesterday it got above freezing for a short while. I think that's what caused everything to change.

But is it winter yet? Yes, no doubt about that. It's about -13C outside right now (10F) and windy as heck.

"Climatological" winter is considered to be December, January and February (the three entire months), and that's quite accurate for right here.

The calendar says it's still fall, but one thing to keep in mind: AS SOON as winter arrives according to the calendar, the amount of sunlight begins its slow daily increase...
 
We had very loud thunder and very vivid lightning here also and about 6-7 inches of snow. Very weird weather
 
True Thunder snow is rare as you saw it today. Its around intense low pressure areas. It can be common on big Nor`easter as they rapidly deepen moving up the mid Atlantic coast.
The lightning in such a deepening low pressure center that accompanies the very heavy snow is very powerful and extremely dangerous, the white or blue lightning.
More common is a cold front pushing a squall through with a brief period of heavy snow/sleet with thunder but that's not the same as the intense winter low pressure that moved through this week, when one of those bombs out (deepens rapidly) dropping the barometer to that of a cat I hurricane (970 millibars) its a deep powerful storm.

Muggy and 75 here this evening at 9 PM. Was about 82 for a high today. Its cool to be out and experience thunder snow, and I miss those storms but I don't think I will trade this for that.

In our case today, it was caused by 2 adjacent low pressure systems on either side of the jet stream creating an occlusion. The system on the left, above the jet stream, was pulling cold air down from the arctic. Below the jet stream, to the right, the other system was pulling warm air up from the south.

The cold air sent the warm air soaring into cumulonimbus clouds which set the stage for a thunderstorm in the middle of a blizzard.
 
Thundersnow is the best! I'm such a weather geek. :square:

I have noticed over the years Jim Cantore got better looking the shorter his hair.

I can hardly concentrate on any weather when that hot hot man is around !! GAWD - He's awesome !!
and shirtless --- BOING !!!!!!
 
I would love big snow storms to happen where I live. As it is, we get about one or two days of snow each year.

This despite living at a latitude the same as the southern tip of Alaska.

It's because of the Gulf Stream carrying warm water across the Atlantic to the west coast of the British Isles.
 
I'd love for it to snow in England like it does across the pond..

Siigh... :(
 
Those were VERY COOL video clips Neil!!! ..|

I have NEVER experienced that RARE Phenomenon...

BUT -- my oldest brother did once up in Cle Elum, Washington and I never tire of hearing the story...

INCREDIBLE!!!
