Yea.I figured thats what you meant.
Just having a little fun on a cold,dreary morn.
Actually,isn't it unusual to have thunder and snow together?
I have witnessed it once or twice,thats all.But then we don't see alot of snow down here.
Maybe one of our in-house experts could chime in?

It doesnt happen that often, but when it does it makes it snow like its a heavy rain lol

Also, I remember as a kid my grandfather would say
that thunder in the winter means very cold is coming.

And we ain't seen nuthin' yet!!
Yeah, thunder snow is awesome. In my entire half-century of life, I've only seen/heard it about 5 times.
We're all socked in, and I'm about to go make a big pot of chili...

the cat keeps looking outside, then at us as if to say, "Why do you keep doing this? Make it stop!"...
I'm just sure he thinks we cause it

what a mess. husband hit Lowe's at 6am and bought their last electric chain saw (we have lots of timber, and several big logs lying in the yard...)
fireplace is loaded and ready to start -
and a brand new pretty yellow SNOW SHOVEL with ergonomic design for less fatigue. What was it, two weeks ago was 73 degrees out??

I used to live in Summit County, Colorado - Breckenridge/Keystone(/Frisco/Silverthorne/Dillon) - and this was a typical sort of snow day. But here, it shuts things down. SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!

STAY SAFE! If our power goes out, well, I'm in here with ya, goou!!

How many of us ARE here in KC??

Yeah, cats are funny, but you can bet he/she'll hold it against you if you don't make it stop.

Im off to go pick my son up from work

Ill take pics of all the stuck cars on my way

Here's a crappy one of the cat wanting back in....
10 seconds after he wanted out and I let him....

truck outside window - and the corner of my poor boat! -- notice the buildup on the window mullions...?

And we're expecting lots more - all day -

P.S. by "OP" in my last post, I meant Overland Park, not Original Poster, but, he's the OP and is also in OP.... local jargon.

See guys, WE DO HAVE LOTS of TREES HERE!! It's actually one of the "Tree Cities" of signage fame...And it's very hilly up where I live!!!
