Lightning.....any time of year?

[Mt_Rider]

Tho this EE blog seems to be out-of-season, I know we can [tho rarely] even get "Thunder Snow". Lightning ...which you usually don't see. Followed by a VERY STARTLING CRASH of thunder in the middle of a high-snow-content winter storm.

 

.....very startling!

Weird to see where it strikes a lot and where it's hardly at all....

Looks like I need to move to Montana. I hate lightning. Good maps though!

 

We get winter lightning all the time here.
