I wish I could better describe it.
Everything that was white--that is, almost everything, from the snow-covered ground to the snow-smothered trees to our snow-coated coats to the snow-filled air--surreally suspended in purple lightning-light, just before a chest-hollowing thunderclap sounded overhead.
Thunderstorms and snowstorms. A beautiful combination I had not before experienced.
We currently have several inches of snow and more falling...

This week I give God a cheer for:
parchment paper, chalkboard paint, free museum weekends, public transportation, online cultural resources, free apps to help you learn non-roman scripts, science experiments, cast iron dutch ovens, cast iron dutch oven lids which double as a skillets, power drills, gallery walls, taco nights with friends, vegetarian cookbooks, apples on sale, the way flowers brighten a room, new curtains, globes, Friday night outings, engineering paper, movie-makers not destroying my favorite book, movie-makers creating something beautiful based on my favorite book, theater pubs, Gutenberg, sunny-yet-freezing weather, new dishtowels, hand-thrown pottery, the golden ratio, secondhand stores, stained glass, and the word "kerfuffle," among other things.

Sounds like fun. I wish we could be there to experience it with you. Enjoy with a hot cup of tea and a slice of apple bread. :-)
I have never heard of snow and thunder at the same time. Another new experience.
Enjoy - I'll try not to be too jealous! :)
I have high expectations of a photograph showing lightning with a snowy foreground! :-)
