Yesterday's weather was very strange. The morning started out with a light layer of snow that fell during a "thunder snow." The thunder was quite loud at times, rumbling and sustained and occasionally accompanied by lightening. This was followed by a gentle rain, escorted by a thin fog. It was not warm enough to melt the early snow; it was not cold enough to freeze the later rain. This created a sort of soupy mix of water and slush. Next came the freezing rain--not a lot, but enough to set the soup like gelatin. This was followed by a rapid decline in temperature and a swift increase in wind. The day ended, book-ended with another light snow; this time blown about on the surface of the icy soup.
The pictures really don't tell the story. It was strange!

I can't say I ever experienced the lightening and thunder while it snowed before yesterday, it was quite strange wasn't it?
Do you have single digit temps and wind chills now, too? We're supposed to get down to -25 degrees with the wind chill in the morning.
I just heard, -30 tonight. brrrrrrr
Thankyou for the pictures! Are they the footprints of anyone you know? I like the footprint picture. I'd love to see some of your snow holiday pictures too, when you have time.
Are you feeling better? My littlest man has become sick. He's very sniffly and wishes he didn't have a nose.
Hi Mm,
Those are my footprints and my husband's tire tracks.
Yes, I am feeling better. The whole family is better now! Thanks for asking.
So sorry to hear your little one has the sniffles. Is it your little Aslan?
