OK, maybe not quite that dramatic, but how can you write "thundersnow" without an exclamation point? And despite the presence of some thundersnow truthers out there, here's some video from Hyde Park from shortly after 8 p.m. (the action starts at 0:22):

It was loud. At first I thought it was a tree crashing down on my house or my neighbors house. But it was thunder.
The flash and the sound

Nothing like them. The snow reflects the flash everywhere. The acoustics are not like a warm day thunder - it sounds more like a freight train than a Taiko drum solo.

And the reason for a bit of trutherism, is it can sound like a snowplow hitting some rough pavement - main difference being snowplows usually sound like they're on the road, not up in the sky.

Adam coined the term to describe those who don't believe in the existence of...
Thundersnow!

P.S. Definitely saw some mighty lightning flashes, and accompanying sound effects, in Watertown.
It starts here.

"This is my first time seeing the term "thundersnow truthers"
"Thundersnow" doesn't exist. It's caused by contrails.
Also, the current President is a Keynesian, no doubt.
It's interesting to fly over a storm and look down to see it lit up by lightning. Hence the contrail connection...
Got it....

I should have Googled "Geoengineering snowstorms" instead. Though if you are looking for more "proof" of government nefariousness, Googling "contrail conspiracy" gets you some interesting results.
Anyhoo, here in Symphony neighborhood I saw a brief but quite intense lightning flash followed by a coup!e of seconds of thunder, but it was in the midst of rain or freezing rain, not snow.
