John Schmitt snapped this dramatic photograph Nov. 13, the day of the surprise snowstorm in the south Everett convergence zone.
“I’m not a photographer by profession, but I do enjoy taking photos as a hobby,” Schmitt says. “Nor am I a meteorologist, but I enjoy weather watching.”
He took the thunderstorm photo facing Everett from his home in the Sunnyside area of Marysville.
“This was just a great photo op,” he says. “Most of my photos are family activities now, but I enjoy photographing landscapes and doing some amateur astro photography when conditions are right.”
His father-in-law, Herb Fliger, said that his place off Mukilteo Boulevard in south Everett was covered with snow that evening.
“He was surprised to see the magnitude of the cloud structure that delivered the snow.”
No need to be hungry Thursday in Marysville.
Free Thanksgiving meals will be served from 1 to 3 p.m. Thursday at Allen Creek Community Church, 7314 44th Ave. NE.

The youth group, sponsors of the meal, knows where to find the needy. They are distributing flyers about the dinner at food banks—and on the streets.
