About 2 years ago on a Wednesday evening about 5pm we had a thunder storm

my (quite long) life.

This was in North Surrey by the way near Croydon and Sutton.

Does anybody on this friendly group remember it? Is it really that unusual?
What caused it?

I think it was in January 2004, like you it's the first time I saw a
thunderstorm with heavy snow. It's quite unusual in this country,
because you need very cold air undercutting mild air.
