I got up and let the dogs out quickly, then got them settled inside just in time for the storm to hit. More thunder, more lightning ... and then hail and sleet and snow. It all stopped less than an hour later, but 2 to 3 inches snow had fallen in that relatively short period. It looked kind of pretty:
