Welcome TheCatOfTheTime... Wow Indeed! What a strang event that must have been. I can't say that I would ever want to live through that, although it would be interesting to see on tape.

Rob...you ever thought about chasing sever thundersnows?

lol Garrett....that would be only one thing that would be very elusive in my book of tricks for sure! Sure would be neat to see a bow echo and a squall line set up like that in winter as rare as it is!

Up in the northern confines this is pretty popular in the open spaces. Something IL doesnt see very often though.

an event like that in January 1992. Thunderstorms erupted along a cold front associated with a developing overland bomb in NW AZ as it tapped moisture left over by a previous system that passed over us two days earlier. When the storms passed over, we had winds gusting to 71mph total whiteout and an inch of snow in 15 minute. However, that measurement is totally conservative as at least 2-3 times that much snow was blown into New Mexico! The lightning was also destructive causing considerable damage to our remote weather sites and other facilities on Fort Huachuca.

I saw something close to this before.

A snow squall came through here around 4:30 PM and it produced 50 MPH wind gusts. It was pretty epic because was so heavy that it actually began to stick. It was a wet snow so the visibilites weren't catastrophic, but it was still pretty bad at around 1/4 miles. Also the air temperature at the time was 41*F (no rain mixed in with the snow at all). It did produce a couple of strikes according to the lightning detector (in nearby suburbs), but I didn't hear or see anything myself. This was all on October 12th BTW (back in 2007). 8-)

I've seen it plenty of times (at least before they butchered the old icons), it represented blowing snow.
