This is a new term to me.  Well not now, now that I have experienced one…

Today it dumped about 3 inches on the ground in the 30 minutes I was in the grocery store.  I had to load up kids and groceries into my van in “white out” conditions while hearing the rumble of thunder and seeing flashes of lightning.  It was surreal to us – the snow was tiny pellets and very dry.  Not anything like the slushy, icy stuff I am used to.  The temperature wasn’t even that fierce but the wind was crazy.

My great solace was that I was less than 5 minutes from home!
