      <![CDATA[They were talking this morning on KUOW about two colliding air masses, the one from the north bringing in the snow, and the colder air mass moving up from the south.  Clearly these two ran smack-dab into each other creating unstable air that developed into a massive thunderhead.<br />
<br />
I've heard a fair amount of thunder in my day, but I swear these were the LOUDEST ever!

      <![CDATA[that broadcast is cool -- but it does do it justice.  i was thinking bomb or earthquake as well, when it woke me up.  and there were car alarms aplenty.  <br />
<br />
i thought about checking here to see if someone posted...  but i figured everyone else, like me, would rather try to go back to sleep for another hour or so, and check it when they actually woke up.  <br />
<br />
how wrong i was.<br />

      <![CDATA[I had actually woken up a bit earlier to take a leak, and looking outside noticed it had not yet begun snowing.  Mumbled something about "retarded weather forecasters", and went back to bed.<br />
<br />
Was still awake when it hit, saw the flash through my closed eyes.  I honestly wasn't sure whether it had been thunder or a terrorist attack.<br />
<br />
Then turned on the teevee and started watching, saw the second flash out of the corner of my eye, then saw it <i>again</i> on the teevee screen (from Redmond).  "Thunder snow", according to the teevee people.  New one for my lexicon!<br />

      <![CDATA[I agree with Dan @13, I thought a plane had/was crashing.  We're in Columbia City and loud planes buzz us going to Boeing Field all the time.  It was so &^$*& loud.  Looking out I saw all the snow and then figured thunder - but jeebus.  It was loud!  Then my alarm clock went off - that was anticlimactic - but then a second flash and thunder instantly.  christ.

      <![CDATA[It sounded like a bomb was exploding above my apartment... at first I thought it was an earthquake. Loud motherfucker. I felt the building shake all the way up on the 12th floor.<br />
<br />
When I looked out my window, there was no sign of snow on the sidwalks or the freeway. 15 minutes later there were at least a couple of inches on the ground everywhere.
