As someone who associates thunder and lighning with the breaking of a period of hot humid weather in the Summer, it always seems odd to have them with sub-zero blizzards ... it's not hugely rare or some harbinger of Climate Doom, but it always makes me think "Hey Mother-Nature I'm already well impressed with torrents of hail crashing off my roof and bouncing back foot-high off the top of the Landy ... the Thunder and Lightning is just a bit unescessarily dramatic! ... don't waste it, save it to spice up some other day where there's nothing much going on" 🙂

Saying that watching the lightning flashes light up the snowy night landscape through the curtains of snow is pretty special ... and all the more so as we're pretty 'dark-skies' out here and get the full effect.

All in all I quite like a bit of snow.
