Snowstorm Then "ThunderFog" (2/4)

Amazing to see a snow storm on 2-3 in Illinois, then, just 24 hours later, I am on a storm off I-65 in Lake County, Indiana chasing a thunderstorm with frequent lightning, small hail, and 50-MPH winds!



In the pictures above, we can see cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning strike to the far right, with blowing FOG ... Yes - That white on the ground to the left of that picture is snow. In the left picture, a car spins out and hits someone in front of me in a snow storm with 4" on I-94 / I-80.

You can also check out a chase report for the thunderstorms on 2-4 at the link below...
