Thunder snow

That is really strange. We get a lot of snow storms but I've never heard it thunder out while we are having snow. I think your right the weather is really different than it use to be.

The other day when we finally did get snow we got a bit of thunder. It was only one or two rumbles, but yes it was thunder. I think we may have had that before, but it's been awhile. Of course in my neck of the woods we hardly ever have snow.

Thunder clouds which drop snow rather than rain (or hail) are fairly rare but not unknown. It's important to understand that MOST rain starts off as what we would call snow but melts as it warms in the lower atmosphere and (in the last few hundred feet) becomes 'rain'. The weather is not changing, actually. You are seeing things which don't happen very often but which you are likely to see every 10, 20 or 40 years anyway.

Thats really strange - never even thought a thunderstorm was possible when it was snowing!

Hi poppoppop. Well I havent personally experienced snowfall. But I do have witnesses a lot of thunderstorms. However, still this combinations looks quite odd to me. However, Nature is so mysterious that we shouldn't be surprised. Here anything can happen. Anyways have a nice day ... SuperShames

Well it's very strange. I hear thirst time about that. The weather just going crazy.

I have never heard of this. I've been listening to the Toronto weather report myself, and I have never heard this term Maybe I've been listening to a different station. Who knows?

yea,i have.people didn't use to believe me when i said it existed til it happened live on the weather channel. it's pretty rare,but it's crazy witnessing in person.

I did not watch this. It is amazing to hear the thunder storm in winter. you took the chance to view the same so we can assume that the weather is really changing and nowadays the mercury has been decreased too much. Any thanks for the information.

Well, one of Santa Clause's reindeers is called Donner, which is German for Thunder ... You of course know that the strain that causes reindeer flu is H0H0H0, don't you?

This is rare, but nothing new. I live in northern Pennsylvania and over the years I have seen this four or five times that I remember, but not lately. The old timers use to predict a deep snow and long freeze after thunder over bare trees.

Yes, I know it is dangerous. Did you face big problem for it?

I suppose it has happened from time to time with how many years the planet has been here. Our planet is amazing.

I have never heard of it. I did not know it was possible even, to have thunder, during snow. It must be a rare weather event!

I have never seen that or heard of it either, but I guess anything can hapen at anytime. We just don't get that much snow here, and when we do get snow, it si very quiet and no thunder at all. that seems as strange as if it would snow in the summer when it is hot. take care, and have a good day.
