Yep, we definitely had "Thunder Snow"! Just like in a rain storm we'd get a flash of lightning (which was pretty much invisible due to the heavy snow), and then the sharp clap of thunder. The way our weather people explained was that if we heard the thunder it indicated that we were indeed seeing the big storm they had predicted, and we'd better stand by for the dump!
