I vaguely remember there being lightning during a snow storm when I was playing outside as a kid. At first I thought I was seeing things, but friends saw it too.

I once had lightening strike the stoplight that I was waiting under. Pretty freaky when you're suddenly surrounded by falling sparks; like someone just started up a MIG above you. Definite brown trousers time.

I don't think I've ever ridden a horse in a big open field! Farmers don't like that much...
