Arright, I'm a Canadian. It's true. I'm used to snow, cold doesn't bother me, and I've gotten adept at dodging polar bears at the bus stop.
We're currently in the middle of a huge snowstorm right now, about six inches over the last four hours or so... and we're getting something with it that I have not seen before.
Lightning.
38 years I've been watching snowstorms, this is the first time I've ever seen lightning at the same time.
Any meteorologists out there know if that means anything? Is that an indicator of something really bad? Or is it just one of those screwy weather events that we get every century or so?

LOL. Tune into coast2coastam to get the latest on HAARP, reptilians who manage McCain, Obama's ties to the Trilateral Commission, and why the hadron collider will kill us all in a billionth of a second.

Awesome, though I think George Noory is an asshat, Ian Punnet should get the job full time. Art Bell needs to stop making little half-Filipino babies and get his ass back on the air.
I have experienced lightning during a blizzard once, it was a bad one and I was driving through it at night. Needless to say it was startling.

UPDATE -- Seems that the only black hole the Hadron collider will create is financial:
Big Particle Collider Repairs to Cost $21 Million
GENEVA (AP) -- Fixing the world's largest atom smasher will cost at least 25 million francs ($21 million) and may take until early summer, its operator said Monday.
An electrical failure shut down the Large Hadron Collider on Sept. 19, nine days after the $10 billion machine started up with great fanfare.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research recently said that the repairs would be completed by May or early June. Spokesman James Gillies said the organization know as CERN is now estimating the restart will be at the end of June or later.
''If we can do it sooner, all well and good. But I think we can do it realistically (in) early summer,'' he said.
The organization has blamed the shutdown on the failure of a single, badly soldered electrical connection.
The atom smasher operates at temperatures colder than outer space to get maximum efficiency and experts needed to gradually warm the damaged section to better assess it, he said.
''Now the sector is warm so they are able to go in and physically look at each of the interconnections,'' Gillies told The Associated Press.
The cost of the work will fall within the organization's existing budget, Gillies said.
The massive machine on the Swiss-French border was built to smash protons from hydrogen atoms together at high energy and record what particles are produced by the collisions, giving scientists a better idea of the makeup of the smallest components of matter.
That will show on a tiny scale what happened one-trillionth of a second after the so-called Big Bang, which many scientists theorize was the massive explosion that formed the universe. The theory holds that the universe was rapidly cooling at that stage and matter was changing rapidly.
Scientists have taken the setback in stride, saying that particle colliders always have such problems in the startup phase.

i watched an hour long documentary on that that the BBC (i think) did. It was very interesting to say the least.
