#2 mhw, I've experienced similar weather. Bivouacing at Camp Edwards on Cape Cod one February night many years ago we had everything but sunshine. A strange sight indeed.

#4 June 14, 1984 I saw the first recorded thunderstorm in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, smack in the middle of the petroleum field. Pucker factor maxed out.

#5 Its not that unusual. I have seen it on a number of occasions in Toronto. I recall seeing it in NYC also. Its probably less common in Europe and ME for the same reason tornados are less common. They dont have the very large drycold and warmmoist air masses meeting to the same extent as N America.

#6 I remember seeing it in 1982 here in St. Louis. I also remember the local weather people breaking into TV every half hour or so telling us that we were in for a bad one. They were right; worst snow we've ever had here, something like 2 feet in one night. Took me two days to shovel out the driveway and the town was shut down for a week.
