Default Lightning Thunder and Snow?

Never have seen it before but overnight all three were happening together. We got slammed north of the city 8-11" but I have my Delta Downs form in hand and about 8hrs in front of me.....Nice Program!! Hawthorne will likely cancel, like anyone cares lol. And it's still comng down hard.

I care my father is stuck in O'Hare, he has no clue when he
get a flight back to Philly, The Delta card should be a great day of
racing. I give a Xchanger a shot in the Jackpot.

we had a storm like that here last winter...it was definitely strange to have thunder with a snow storm.

I'm in Albany and we had such a storm last year. We also had a T-storm, no snow just before Christmas.

I grew up in VT driving in snow is like second nature...unfortunately I also live in a college town where the kiddies show up from out of state with the new SUV 4WD that daddy bought them for high school graduation...they are the cause of MANY accidents

well it appears that one of the big issues we have here is that some of our illegals aliens that live in the area, and there are many, do not have any winter driving skills obviously. So they are spinning all over the place.

I was stuck behind a taxi for 20 minutes because the driver thought the best way to handle snow was to push the accelerator all the way to the floor.
Obviously he didn't get very far very fast like that, just sliding left and right.

Just throwing it out there that just because one grows up in an area where there was lots of snow doesn't mean one actually knows how to drive in the snow. I've seen some of the worst snow drivers in history, for instance, in Buffalo, New York.
