How many are getting hit by the latest storm in the US?

Thunder snow? That sounds like the start of the apocalypse.

I don't think I have ever seen lightning/thunder in a snow storm.

It happened again in the afternoon, thunder, lightning and a yellow tinged sky with light snow. Very strange weather. Some truckers were stopped in Colorado because the wind was gusting to 35 mph. They had very heavy loads that the wind wouldn't bother at 60 mph.

I was correct in my assumption that the yellow tinge to the sky was caused by dust. It apparently was blown all the way from Texas.

- Minnesotans expecting a fresh layer of white stuff following Thursday's unseasonable blizzard instead found snow with a brown-orange tinge, just like the dusty expanse of West Texas.

It was no coincidence.

The major spring storm that delivered blizzard conditions from the Dakotas to Minnesota was so big and strong that it also hurled dirt from New Mexico and Texas into the atmosphere, where winds kept it aloft for more than 900 miles. It eventually fell back to the ground in Minnesota, where it mixed with snow upon descent.
