WATCH: Meteorologist Goes Nuts Over ‘Thundersnow’ Lightning Strikes

By Brent Furdyk.

Weather Channel meterologist Jim Cantore is becoming a viral-video superstar thanks to his extreme reactions during Winter Storm Neptune on the east coast, whooping and hollering like a maniac over something called “thundersnow”; (when show is the main source of precipitation during a thunderstorm instead of rain).

But Cantore’s reaction is priceless when thundersnow causes lightning to strike — not once, not twice, but six times.

“You can take your $500 million jackpot in Powerball of whatever the heck it is, but I’ll take this baby!”; he shouts with the excitement of a kid who just learns he’s not going to school because of a snow day.

The video has gone viral, with more than 2.8 million YouTube views and counting. Take a look:
