How an Eskimo kisses. What a great start to make you think. I had to pause and then the light came on in my head. They kiss with their noses, so it would be cold! Dah! Then "Thundersnow." The promise of spring, thunder in winter. As always, I love your descriptive voice and how you make me think. Stan

Hello Susan
This is a wonderful little story. I have only once in my life seen thunder snow and it was in 1963 here in Utah. I too love the spring, and since we have not had a normal winter I hope it gets here soon. My crocuses are about to pop out

Hi there~ I have a whole row of daffodils popped up. Of course they will get frozen. I wish I could take them in...just so odd...the government is playing God up in Alaska with HAARP...NOT good. At all. Thank you Bear...I'm very happy you liked this...Susan

Susan, splendid writing here with superb visual quality and emotional tone. Your narrative ability is both precise and poetic. Sometimes pain and personal setbacks brings out the best writing. Even when you heal, your life experiences will serve you well as you continue such marvelous writing. Blessings, Hector

Hi Hector! Thank you very much! I do hope you're right. But most of the time I just feel like a doofus. My stories are just dribble compared to many here. But I do enjoy and more than that, I love when you and others get something out of these. Thank you again with all my heart. Susan

Susan, I used to think the same way when I compared myself to other writers. But, I learned that I have my own perspective and a set of skills that are unique to me. You and I belong at the same table with all writers who have the courage to write as well as they can. Blessings, Hector

Comment from Espresso momma
This is a very realistic story of days gone past when being able to run out and play with the animals was easy and fun. And of course happy. Those days can come again,maybe in the spring. Thanks for a good story.

Comment from BethShelby
I enjoyed your shot flash fiction. You have a way of making your reader feel as though they ae there with you. Until I moved to Tennessee I didn't know it could thunder in a snow storm. I've only heard it once and it took me by surprise the second year I lived here.

HI Beth! I'm glad you have experienced this! It's SO neat! I've heard it three times over the years! My Mom used to say we would have a chilly summer with snow in the spring, and she was right!?? How odd. Thank you for enjoying this Beth! Hope you are doing well!! Keep warm! HUG! Susan
Comment from Kaine Darcwater
This is indeed a reality of weather phenomenon. Not but last year it was snowing heavily, there was a flash of lightning and loud roll of thunder. It surprised me and my Father. It was the first time I had ever heard of lightning during a snow storm. And the current weather is odd, snow in February. Unseasonable warming trends as well. I say that it is the result of Global Warming. Good Flash Fiction story. God bless you and yours. Kudos. ;)

Comment from J. P. Egry
This poem paints a picture like Currie & Ivies---the beauty of nature in winter and the joy it brings to man and beast. Being ancient myself, I can relate to the aches and pains the narrator feels and the wistfulness that comes from wishing he could be as young and as frisky as his dog. But there is much hope portrayed in this poem---the knowing that spring sill come and all things will be better and easier. I like the premonition of spring snow that the thunder brings.
This piece flows well with correct language usage, punctuation and grammar. It is a relief to read it and review it without worrying about any serious corrections.
The use of present tense works well here, drawing the reader right into the scene as if there and experiencing what the narrator experiences. Very nice.

Hi Susan,
I remember hearing thunder one time in winter. Now I can't remember where I was but it was a shock. I loved the way you explained it when you said...as If spring were peeking through the clouds telling me she was on her way...what a lovely and uplifting thought. I know you are in pain but I can say from experience that it will lessen a little everyday. Well done....bless you, chey

Well-written flash fiction story about the oddities of Mother Nature. Thunder in Winter, predicts snow in the Spring. It is a wonderous sight for those who haven't witnessed it. Like the first line of your story comparing the light snow to Eskimo kisses, wet and soft...
