Light up the sky with “thundersnow”
I am a small-town girl (and when I say small I mean tiny, as in where my parents live there are 99 people living within the city limits), so I expected to have all sorts of new experiences while living in the thriving metropolis of our nation’s capitol. Since I was born and raised smack-dab in the middle of the Great Plains, I am accustomed to some pretty extreme weather conditions, but yesterday I experienced the phenomenon known as “thundersnow” for the first time ever. We have blizzards in the Midwest, and we have thunderstorms, but never before had I encountered a time when snow was cascading down out of the sky while lightning bolts were lighting up the heavens ever few minutes.
