I remember living in Omaha in the early 1990's when it only snowed twice that winter--the first time happened on Halloween and the second time on Easter. The kids loved the snow but missed trick or treating and the Easter egg hunt.
Very loud crack of thunder here at about 12:20 in north Vancouver. Two strikes on the lightning map both just south of where I-5 and 205 come back together, one just east of Klineline Pond and the other about 1/2 mile south of there.
