we had one of those burst things today. 10am - sunglasses required. 12noon - pouring rain. 1pm - burst of snow, started like an explosion - wind was so strong it sounded like a jet aircraft, the snow looked like it was pouring from the sky. At ground, it would swirl straight back up. I usually only see it that wild at mountain tops. Then the thunder clapped, kaBOOM. 330PM - blue skies and sunny, all the snow melted from the trees. 4pm - clouding, radar shows another snowburst coming.
My wife said "I'm glad everyone's off the road", I said, "That's cool, wish I was out there!"
