Ever Heard of Thundersnow in Ballard and McCracken County?

1/11/2022 (Permalink)

We saw some crazy weather over the last few weeks.  It was in the 60's and 70's around Christmas.  Then we experienced freezing temperatures with 3 to 6 inches of snow in Western Kentucky, and heavier amounts south and east of us.  Predictions came true on Saturday with warming temperatures, unusual Lightning and loud Thunder with heavy rain in some places.  It didn't take long for the snow to disappear!  :(

Had the temperatures stayed cold we could have experienced the Thundersnow effect.  Never heard of it-Thundersnow, also known as a winter thunderstorm or a thundersnowstorm, is an unusual kind of thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation.  

We heard tremendous claps of Thunder and long streaks of Lightning across the sky last Saturday.  However the precipitation was Rain instead of Snow.  :(

The Rain on top of the Snow caused flooding in some areas.  Perhaps you experienced some water damage in your home or business from all the excess water.
