: THUNDER & LIGHTENING - YEA!!!
Record snow and thunder and lightening storm recorded Easter Sunday
Only in Juneau it seems could you have a record snowfall for the date as well as a thunder and lightening storm.
Meteorologist Andy M in the Forecast Office says there was 1 point 6 inches of snow recorded at the airport Sunday. The previous record for the date was 1 point 5 inches on in 1995.
One listener called to say they saw three flashes of lightening and heard a huge clap of thunder that woke everyone in her household shortly after five Sunday morning.
Meteorologist Paul S tells us that people who work there heard it as well. He says they initially thought it was an avalanche on Thunder Mountain.
He says an observer at the airport reported the thunder and lightening at about 12 minutes pass five.
The storm packed wind gusts to about 38 miles per hour at the airport. S says there were also reports of rain squalls mixing with snow at times.
He called it a "busy event" until about 5:45 Sunday morning.
