thunder snow


This is our backyard this morning.  Thundersnow is the official weather condition, one which I'd never heard of before in all my years of Wisconsin living.  It's just what it sounds like, snow, with thunder.  It's pretty awesome.  But as my sister points out, it would also make the best wrestling name ever.  Or any name for that matter.  Should I name my firstborn child Thunder Snow?


It's so quiet, everything muffled under a blanket of magical white fluff.  The only sound was the snowplow getting stuck on the corner.  Irony abounds.  We're taking a full snow day, catching up on tv watching and making hot pepper brownies.  Full report to come soon...

    1. Thundersnow in nyc?! Crazy. Apocalyptic. But actually, I loved it, beautiful and exciting at the same time! Not so fun now that there's just tons of snow everywhere and we have to get back out into the world. But still, incredibly beautiful.

  2. Isn't it beautiful, the silence that comes with the muting snow? Those quiet moments are special. I have never heard of thundersnow before. That is pretty awesome! Those brownies sound yum.

    1. I love that silence! One of the things I miss about Wisconsin winters. And there are very few things I miss about these winters...
