I've seen lightening during a snowstorm before too. Weird!

[Particle Man]

go to Oswego, NY.... I lived there for 5 years and at least 3 times per year there was a snow storm with lightning.

[Mr Lefty]

damn... never heard of that shit... I'd definatly have to bust out the camera for that...

[njchopper87]

I vaguely remember there being lightning during a snow storm when I was playing outside as a kid. At first I thought I was seeing things, but friends saw it too.

[Mr Lefty]

well wtf everyone's seen that shit cept me...

[Papa_Complex]

I once had lightening strike the stoplight that I was waiting under. Pretty freaky when you're suddenly surrounded by falling sparks; like someone just started up a MIG above you. Definite brown trousers time.

[MILK]

Hmmm maybe it's time I switch back to riding horses. :lol:

[Papa_Complex]

Hmmm maybe it's time I switch back to riding horses. :lol:

Hmmmm....... big open fields and lightening don't go well together ;)

[MILK]

Hmmmm....... big open fields and lightening don't go well together ;)

I don't think I've ever ridden a horse in a big open field! :lol: Farmers don't like that much...

[Mr Lefty]

Yeah farmers hate anything to be ridden in their fields... And I mean anything... Atv's, bikes, motorcycles, their daughters, sheesh...

[Papa_Complex]

...their daughters...

That's what hay lofts are for.

[Rsv1000R]

I had lightning hit the road I was standing on about 20' away from me. Much too close.

[rogue]

well wtf everyone's seen that shit cept me...

Not me.

[ericr]

well wtf everyone's seen that shit cept me...

It's not real common except on the NE coast area (from what I've heard) and I think it has to be pretty warm before it comes in. Our blizzard it was low 40's during the day then started dropping in the afternoon as the storm moved in and the cold front hit just right. It was thundering and lightning for a couple hours and by the next morning it was 19F with 40-50mph winds and whiteout conditions. I'll never see another storm like that in GA I bet.

[KSGregman]

Hey JC....why did your old man cap this poor bastard? I mean, wasn't there a crack head or baby raper nearby that he could have lit up instead?

Who's in charge of target selection up there anyway? :scratch:
