Thank you, Beau for sending those spectacular photos. Thank you also for sending the radar shot of what moved through. How much snow fell per hour in that burst? It looked like a squall line on the radar, interesting to see the yellows with the snow. Was there any thunder reported?
Some of the photos reminded me of the April blizzard in '83 in Boston that did have rather constant thunder rolls in it. Also growing up in Pittsburgh, every rare once in awhile lake effect snowsqualls like this, complete with bit flakes, made it all the way down from Lake Erie, dropping up to 1.5" of real fluffy power in 15 minutes.

Thanks...big fan of snow here. I love snow more than any other weather phenomenon. The snow was falling at a rate of (estimating) 2-3" per hour. I was surprised, as well, that there was not any thunder. I didn't hear anyone else say that they had thundersnow. It was certainly a good candidate for a clap of thunder. Temperatures were in the 20s at the time. The line intensified as it moved eastward. I headed out after I saw the intensity of the radar returns. I knew it would be good - I didn't know it would be that good though!
