That statement sounds very right to me. One noteworthy entry for my

Just had a flash of lightning and clap of thunder following a snow
shower. Gosh all this weather in one go, what ever next !!


Sort of a Dutch saying is that when thunder comes with snow in winter; you
can forget frost. (I guess its because there's simply too much unstability
for a severe frosty period.). Bit its indeed odd to hear thunder with
falling snow!
