Another is about how thunder and lightning may warn of blizzards is in

What an idiotic article, typical of New Scientist's gaudy
knuckle-headed descent into pop journalism. It's like using people's
pools predictions to influence the composition of the England team. I
notice that the amounts involved are translated into US dollars but
not pounds, or euros, even. Thank you very much. A magazine to
avoid, these days, but it was not always thus.
