I recall thunder and lightning about two years ago in a heavy snow storm.  The whole place lit up blue- was kinda freaky!

These kind of posts are why I love PDD. I may not have even been alive for the storm, but the story and the picture give me a very warn nostalgic feeling about Duluth.

@ original poster what did you do at the arena?

It wasn't Thanksgiving, but:

Paul, you are correct.  Fond-du-Luth was not around.  In fact, during that blizzard I remember Superior Street being all ripped up during its reconstruction because of the freeway.  Murphy's was a freestanding bar that we walked by and is no longer around either.

Max, I was on the labor crew at the Arena.  That meant I set up for various events they had, then came in and tore down/cleaned up after them.  I have a TON of great backstage stories for various concerts over the years (Pat Benatar, Huey Lewis, Barry Manilow, etc.)

March 1, 2007 blizzard featured mucho thundersnow.

On any other day of the year I might be perturbed at one of my photos being used without credit, but it's Thanksgiving, so I'll be thankful that at least one person in the world liked the blizzard shot of Superior Street that accompanies this post.

FYI - it was taken during the height of the March 1-2, 2007, blizzard as I walked home from work just after midnight on March 2. One of the most awesome experiences I've had here in Duluth.

Nice photo AK, I bet rubber chicken meant no harm in posting it.  At risk of hijacking, please provide some guidance on what is a proper etiquette to use pictures on PDD (and elsewhere online) and how to credit the author. I imagine that many photogs would feel ok about someone using/appreciating their work (if they are credited, natch).

You can put that photo back if you want (I don't mind in this case).

And, I saw thunder and lightning during that storm. If I remember correctly, it came earlier in the evening of March 1.

Back when there was a little parking lot across the street from Electric Fetus I used to hang out at Urban Grounds coffee shop, on the corner across from the casino on 2nd Ave East, where Downtown Computer is now.  This was in 1994, I believe, because I was not yet 21. I definitely witnessed some thundersnow right there on Superior Street.  My dad's '88 Reliant wagon was buried in that parking lot for three days.  My girlfriend and I ended up walking in that storm all the way to a friend's place in the Emerson that night.  Good times.
