Did You Know?

Thundersnow is a rare, but real, weather phenomenon. It’s not unusual to hear thunder during a summer storm, but did you know that thunder can come clapping during the winter months, too? It’s called thundersnow, and it’s a rare weather phenomenon that refers to a snowstorm complete with both thunder and lightning. For thundersnow to occur, “the air layer closer to the ground has to be warmer than the layers above, but still cold enough to create snow,” according to CNN.
