I'm in Ball; I was really randomly outside (taking my trash out while I can find the bins) when the first very rumbly one happened (a good 15s rumble). There was another, much fainter one just after I posted this, I'm not sure I'd have even noticed it except I was listening for more.

I heard it! I was lying in bed, trying to sleep. I couldn't believe it was thunder -- I thought it must be an airplane!

Lightning too!!!!

Ohhhh, wait, maybe THAT was what woke me up, and it wasn't my cat knocking something around. After all, I didn't see anything knocked over when I got up. Huh.

my cat is scared of thunder and has been looking at me like this is MY FAULT.

Well, duh, you aren't giving him/her enough tuna, and have clearly angered Bast by your neglect. And Bast then, uh, sicced Thor on you. Or something.

Ah, I -did- hear that! But I wasn't sure, because I was mostly asleep.

That means I also heard the tree breaking (which my sleep-brain parsed as "snow sliding noisily off roof"). Possibly around the same time.

The last time I experienced that in Boston was on New Year's Eve of 1990--on Medford Street in Somerville. I wonder if there's something about that area that calls down the lightning :)

We used to get winter thunderhail in London pretty regularly. It seemed so strange to think of thunder as a winter phenomenon.

Shoveling in Union Square?

My wife and I are down with the flu. Does anyone know kids (or anyone else) who want to earn a few bucks shoveling our sidewalk this afternoon near Union Square?

...two snowflakes enter, one snowflake leaves?

Unfortunately I slept through it. I would have loved to hear it.

I was awoken in a panic by a flash of light and the snow thundering past my bedroom window as it slid off the roof, convinced a power box had blown or that I was somehow about to be electrocuted if I didn't go out and immediately investigate. As I stared out my front windows where the street light could illuminate the incredible snow falling, it flashed again, then thundered, and I finally figured it out! So bizarre to experience, but I agree, in the long run I'm glad I was woken up by it to see it!

i wake up about every one or two hours due to awful insomnia and this scared me out of sleep which was entirely bizarre (once i'm asleep i usually can't be woken up by much, esp anything weather related). kind of neat though!
