The same here. I adore both snow and thunder, and when you mix the two of them, you get something truly incredible, although the thunder in this storm was mostly cloud-to-cloud, so just some flashes and no visible lightning bolts.
I'll try to find some videos when I get home.
Oh great! A guy here captured a video from March 2009 but he stopped recording and after some minutes a thunder was visible. ****!
I am curious which places and cities from all over the world experience thundersnow every year or generally they have the potential and the possibilty to experience it at times. As I know Great Lakes in USA experience every year this phenomenon. Ioannina here have the potential for it. It happened 4 times in last 11 years. What other regions of the world can experience it?
Yup, I got to experience it a few times here over the years and the best was 6am January 24, 2015 when I went out to get an hourly snow measurement, unexpected, all of a sudden a bright blue/white flash and then a muffled roll. Was unreal with the snow. Not the typical type of Thunder you think of. I stopped in my tracks and just starred into the sky. And that's when you get such intense snow rates.

And it was high ratios (heavy wet snow) because we were near the center of the Low.
You mean low ratios? I vaguely remember that one. It was 7:1 or so. Around 2-3 inches fell. I think I remember some thunder in that one. Now, the massive snowstorm that happened three days after that was higher ratio (12:1), but no thunder for that one. Islip got a whopping 25 inches in that one, and also broke the daily snowfall record.
I also remember some thundersnow over Manhattan and Brooklyn in Feb 2014 while I was driving by.

I like powdery dry stuff better. Not just because it's easier to clean, but it accumulates faster and looks more appealing to me.
Of course, I also like to get a few wet snowfalls per season as well! Only dry stuff would become boring.
