[edit] On a Personal Note (not for article addition)...

Thundersnow seems to follow me around the world. I witnessed the rare event in Munich in 1989, and then again two weeks ago during the 2006 nor-easter in central Maryland. Twice already in one lifetime, with 60+ more winters expected! EikwaR 05:54, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References shed greater light on topic

I found a reference that refuted the triple point theory in synoptically forced thundersnow. A study actually reveals it's most active in the comma head, which makes sense due to the frontogenesis that occurs within that part of an extratropical cyclone. References continue to be added. Who knows what else may not be correct. Thegreatdr 02:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
