Has anyone ever seen a thundersnowstorm? It was the wierdest thing,
usually you don't see thunder/lightening and snow together. I was
driving back to Montreal from Ottawa last night, and half way between,
it struck on the highway. Initially you just noticed that the highway
had turned greyish, from the ice pellets and snow. So I immediately got
off the cruise control, slowed right down to 80kph from 120kph, and took
manual control at that point, because you could tell things were getting
squirrelly even while you were driving straight. Then you start seeing
ice pellets, snow and freezing rain all coming at you at different
times. Wind had kicked upto 40kph, aimed right across your side trying
to push you off the road. And then you start seeing the bolts of
lightening.
It was the first time I didn't even feel confident in my Outback.
