Check out these excellent videos of the thundersnow (!) in action

There are plenty of cons to the nor'easter that's currently plaguing parts of the east coast, from Pennsylvania through New England.

Terrible commutes, for example. The need to shovel snow (or to pay someone to do it for you). The increased likelihood that you will slip and fall into a snowbank soaked in dog urine.

But there is one pro: Wednesday's storm provides a rare opportunity to experience thundersnow firsthand. THUNDERSNOW!!!!!

If Twitter is any indication, it seems plenty of us are unfamiliar with this particular weather phenomenon. If that's you, go skim Mashable's explainer, right here. We will wait.

Great! Now that you're caught up, let's get into what you're really here for: Actual footage of the thundersnow in action. All across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, Twitter users are sharing their best thundersnow videos.
