you are probably hearing the thunder from a different lightning strike.
It means your too close to the lightning!
No. Yes.While it has snowed in all 50 states at one time or another, including the mountains in Hawaii and the northern part of Florida, all 50 states have not had snow at the same time. On Feb 12, 2010 there was snow in all 50 states which may be the first time with snow in all 50 states at the same time.
It frequently does.
Actually, thunder and lightning DO happen at the same time, but unless you are within the immediate proximity of the lightning strike, the observer usually sees the flash before hearing the thunder because light travels much faster (~11,000,000 mph) than sound (~750 mph).
This is called a thunder snow if it is snowing at the same time. It is caused by the same factors as a thunderstorm except the precipitation is snow or hail instead of rain.
Thunder and lightning occur roughly at the same time during a thunderstorm, but they are different things. Typically you see the lightning first and then you hear the thunder.

It could be. The light from the flash travels much more quickly than the sound waves that make up the thunder. So a longer time between them indicates that the lightning is farther away. If the thunder is immediate, you are very close to the lightning!
Garrett, Maryland had rain and snow at the same time during Hurricane Sandy.

If you hear the thunder almost at the same time as the lightning flash - the storm is directly overhead. Usually - the sound of thunder arrives a few seconds after the lightning, because light travels much faster than sound.

Yes, there's this thing called 'effet d'orage' (thunder efect) used in some organ music. There you press 6-7 pedal keys at the same time to make this effect with the bass pipes.
