Why do sometimes hear thunder at about the same time you see flash of lightning but other times you hear thunder after the flash?
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.
Why do you see thunder after you see the flash of lightning?
You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
Why doesn't lightning occur when it is snowing?
It does occur. It is not as common in snowstorms as in a rain storm, because rain is much better at generating static electricity than snow. "Not as common" is not the same as "never". During December 2008 a snow storm in Massachusetts USA produced lightning, with accompanying thunder.

What is the actual method for finding the distance you are from the storm using lightning and thunder?
For a long time it was thought by many people that the number of seconds after the lightning strikes is the miles the center of the storm is from you. Although this does show how light travels faster than sound, this system is wrong. The actual method for finding the distance the heart of the storm is from you is by counting after you see lightning; and stop counting after you hear the thunder. Now, for every five seconds after the lightning struck until you hear the thunder, it is one mile away. So if ten seconds go by between lightning and thunder, the center of the storm is two miles away.
If a thunder clap is heard 4 seconds after the flash of lightnening is seen how far away is the centre of the storm?

Why does the storm has a name?
