Good link. I have yet to find a source that includes all possible remarks that may be found in a METAR. My favorite... LTGICCCCGCA
Check Federal Meterological Handbook Appendix B for abbreviations/acronyms. (also under external links in Tech's link)

Lightning (LTG) -- within the cloud (IC), across from cloud to cloud (CC), cloud to ground (CG), and last but not least lightning that goes from a cloud to the air but does not strike the ground (CA). Basically, it reported all forms of lightning.
Heres an awesome link to a website I use for decoding metars...
