I was about 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia Wednesday during the snowstorm. It was a wet snow, and almost felt like being outside during a rainstorm except it was cold. The previous days had been unseasonably warm. I was out cleaning off the car when I saw the buildings around me light up. I thought it was a short in one of the nearby high tension electrical wires, but smelled nothing in the air. Then, I heard a long, loud rumble of thunder. That was it! Thank you for the explanation.
