It is 12:52 am in Cartersville, GA right now… Big snow storm and some of the brightest blue lightning flashes I have ever seen! Loud thunder too. Reminds me of the blizzard of ’93. It was lightning bad then too…

Wow! Thanks for your stories everybody! I live in the south and never see snow storms. But I’d love to see lightning during a snow storm …

Cool stuff!

In the early 1980′s, I was having a group of friends over for dinner at my loft 5 blocks from the World Trade Center. There was a snowstorm that night and for over an hour the night, the snow in the night and the room were lit up with flashes of lightning, the majority from strikes on the WTC. Amazing!

Yes, I was at the Grand Canyon and watched a storm come up the canyon. When it hit us, it was snow and not rain, but the lightning show was still fantastic!
