Snow Squall Microburst State College PA

Instantaneous whiteout conditions as severe snow squall plows through with a localized snow microburst impacting State College.
A short clip of my footage was featured on ABC World News Tonight (viewable at the start of this video).
I estimated peak winds reached 50 MPH on the leading edge of the microburst, which is reasonable considering I was recording from 12 floors up. Most weather stations at ground level reported winds in the 40-45 MPH range. This was the closest thing I've experienced to a severe thunderstorm minus the thunder (there was plenty in surrounding areas).

That's one of the most impressive Snow Squalls I've ever seen. All that was missing was lightning & thunder!

I used to live in buffalo snow lightning was very common

Nice! First time I ever heard of use of snowrecho. This basically is a snowrecho, especially considering this thing developed all the way in Wisconsin. Climate changes making events like these more and more common place even in winter time. For instance, Long Island had six tornadoes on a day that the heights were around 5400 due to strong south south west winds in head of a arctic cold front off the warm water on November 13, 2021, pushing temperatures into the low 60s. I had some pretty intense grapple and small hail a bit of a lowering on the edge of that cell but not much rotation, I had a feeling that it may produce some tornadoes over Long Island, and sure enough that that’s exactly what transpired, there was a lot of wind shear.
