Lot's of noise in the sky here in Maine, around 4am. Now we have extreme gusty winds like a Noreaster, but without the snow.

Re: Arctic Blast with Lightning Storm - WTF?!
Northern Michigan, last night around 8ish.

Weather turned instantly from a light rain (straight down) to Heavy Snow, 60 MPH winds blowing the snow horizontally. I was working outside at the time and the transformation was startling. Like a switch was flipped…

This was accompanied by lightning and thunder, which is very unusual in January. I'm not saying it has never happened, but I certainly don't recall it happening before. They were forecasting 12 to 18" of snow, but I only see about 3 or 4 inches out my window this morning.

Most unusual…

I am in michigan we experienced the same thing last night. 55 mph winds and thunder..Very strange. Then we had a drop in temperature from 45 yesterday to 18 degree today. I heard it was from the CME that hit which in turn created a magnetic pulse creating a fracture in the stratisphere that has created an artic river through the midwest.

I live in Michigan too (Kalamazoo). VERY windy indeed. This "snow thunder" (lighting and thunder during snow showers) seems to be a new phenomena as I don't recall it at all when I was younger. Only the last 2 yrs. I have noticed that cold snaps and heat waves seem to correlate with CME's.

It's not BS you moron. I'm sure you could confirm the reality with a small bit of investigating with google. I witnessed it myself and I can also confirm that "snow thunder" has become a new normal in the Midwest the last couple years.

Re: Arctic Blast with Lightning Storm - WTF?!
I Received a weather alert yesterday about an Arctic Blast coming to my area...I didn't think much of it.

This morning sometime between 5:30-6:00 am, I hear what sounds like a massive passenger jet close to our house.
Within seconds we were hit with huge gusts of wind. This went on for about 4-5 minutes.

Followed by a lightning storm (no thunder). I've never experienced a lightning storm in January.

wtf

Take care that no one deceives you; because many will come using my name and saying, "I am the Christ", and they will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumours of wars; do not be alarmed, for this is something that must happen, but the end will not be yet. For nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes here and there. All this is only the beginning of the birthpangs.

Then they will hand you over to be tortured and put to death; and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name. And then many will fall away; men will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise; they will deceive many, and with the increase of lawlessness, love in most men will grow cold; but the man who stands firm to the end will be saved...

...As it was in Noah's day, so will it be when the Son of Man comes. For in those days before the Flood people were eating, drinking, taking wives, taking husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and they suspected nothing till the Flood came and swept all away. It will be like this when the Son of Man comes.

That's funny that you should mention this! My hubby and I live in Ontario, about an hour north of Toronto, and we woke up last night to the sound that sounded like a jet, or a tornado sound. The wind was so strong, that was our first thought, was a tornado. We didn't see the lightning, but is just seemed so strange in January!

Re: Arctic Blast with Lightning Storm - WTF?!
Geoengineering creates frankenstein monsters like 'thunder snow'. There's very little to nothing natural in what passes for weather these days. Don't believe the crock that disinfo shills it the mainstream media will try to feed you about unusual atmospheric conditions causing it or that 'thunder snow' is a rare but long-standing phenomenon. It is a very new and very artificial creation.

Re: Arctic Blast with Lightning Storm - WTF?!
I barely got any sleep here in Toronto. The howling wind kept me up most of the night. At one point I looked out the window and it looked like a blizzard outside. The roads were clear by morning though.

"People across southern Ontario were woken in the early morning hours by violent thundersnow, as storms passed through on their way to Quebec and beyond. Snow also pelted the region, falling heaviest in northern Ontario and the Nickel Belt.

The south did see some snow overnight, but the story there was strong winds, gusting more than 90 km/h in some cities, including Toronto."

I remember a snow storm with lightning about 15 years ago in Boulder Co. I thought it very strange, and it is the only time that I ever experienced it. Weird times.

I am in Michigan as well on the lakeshore. I was laying in bed watching the Barrett Jackson auction and I thought our condo was going to blow away. I didn't hear any thunder and had the drapes closed so I didn't see any lightning but I seriously was getting concerned with the wind. Not too bad today.

I've lived in Canada,( Montreal, Thousand Islands, Toronto, Northwestern Ontario, Yellowknife, Edmonton, etc.) most of my life. I never saw snow and lightning here, but I saw it once in Jerusalem (Feb. 1986). There was thunder and lighning with hail that turned to snow. I don't remember much wind but the streets are very narrow in the Old City.

We called it thundersnow. However it was lightning and thunder while snowing. Was super cool.

I have also experienced lightning with no thunder and vice versa.

It's not that we've "never seen ANYTHING" before; it's that it is WINTER and we (in Toronto) should have snow, not rain, thunder, lightning, blizzard-force winds, with barely any SNOW!
