People around the U.S. are non visual eroticismwaking up to a white Christmas.

Seattle and Portland -- two cities that aren't exactly known for heavy snowfall this time of year -- are both seeing a fair bit of snow on Monday.

Large swaths of the Midwest and Northeast also woke up to plenty of the white stuff coating lawns, trees, and cars.

And that's not all.

Some lucky Boston residents awake early enough on Christmas morning got treated to one of the rarest and most treasured of weather events: thundersnow.

Yes, thundersnow is exactly what it sounds like. Effectively, it just means that there was a lightning strike along with heavy snowfall.

Thundersnow is rare, but the potential for it was actually predicted by some clutch meteorologists about 12 hours before it occurred.

Boston isn't out of the woods yet, either.

The snowstorm is rapidly intensifying, and the National Weather Service is predicting snowfall rates of about 2 inches per hour.

Portland, for its part, of course stayed weird as snow fell on Christmas Eve.
