      Great video. Thank you. Surprised you don’t have snowshoes. Also a rigid rod for measuring. I think a folding wooden ruler would penetrate the snow better that a metal measuring tape. And still fit in a coat pocket.

Also him showing his heart for people when he is on a chase and stops everything to help people that were impacted.

    I'm in Buffalo and last night was the first time in my life I ever experienced thunder snow, which I never even heard of before. I was sleeping and a huge crash woke me up and suddenly the whole room lit up from a kind of lightning I have never seen before. I really don't remember there ever being thunder and lightning during a snowstorm.

It was different than regular lightning because it stayed lit up for about 5 Seconds rather than just the really quick Flash of regular lighting. I thought maybe it was an emergency vehicle outside my building turning on a spotlight or something. It was that kind of light.

    Born and raised in Black Sea part of Istanbul, when i was a kid i always imagined that all snowfall events in the world was caused by sea evaporation, named sea effect snowfall. Also thundersnow was a normal event for me. Kinda shocked when i learnt that fronts caused most snowfall in the world except places which sit near water bodies.
    This is such a common phenomenon in Istanbul, that we usually get not only sea effect snowfall, but also sea effect rains which lasts for days. I remember one time it rained straight for 10 days in a spray form, which only totaled to 10 mm. Black Sea region of Turkey is truly a moisture heaven.
    Thanks to these type of sea effect, some years we even get 30 inches of snow in just a single storm, 100 m above sea level. Also our latitude is lower than western Europe but we get much more snow thanks to Black Sea.

    Thank you thank you thank you Reid I knew you would come through I'm an old Jersey boy somewhat snow bunny type guy now out here in California not a cloud in the sky today wishing I was back there shoveling with some of the people thanks again for posting the kind of footage that we need and want to see..... And wow I guess I must have been one of the lucky ones in the late 90s we had a nice blizzard in New Jersey where I witnessed thunder snow

    It's still extremely beautiful. Snow is so pretty in the woods.
