      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.

    I actually listen to the stream all night. I did sleep at one point. When I woke up it was daylight and you were walking around on the same live stream. I work midnights and dayside. I know what you an your team go through. Thanks for the videos and the time to make them. I've learned so much watching your videos. I am a Part 107 sUAS operator and am a better pilot because of these videos. Bravo!

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.

    You said the lightning during a snow storm is rare, but if you live it Buffalo it happens probably every couple of years. It normally happens during lake effect snow storms and usually it's a sign that it is about to get bad. They are really impressive during a whiteout. You can't see the lightning, but the whole sky lights up and of course you hear the thunder.
