Last time I saw thundersnow was in Oct 1997 and the power was out for 10 days afterwards.
It was really warm that fall and then we had that snowstorm that dumped a whole lot of snow on tree's that still had leaves on them. Tree damage here was unreal and there was millions of dollars in damages from tree's breaking and falling onto houses, cars and powerlines.
It was the most beautiful snowstorm I had ever seen. I remember hearing the constant rumble of thunder and watching the lightning reflect off the snow . I also remember the pop pop pop pop pop sound and wondering what in the heck that was. POP POP POP all night long. We found out in the morning when ya realized that popping noise was tree branches from all over the city buckleing with the weight of the snow on them. I don't think there was a tree in the city that was undamaged.
