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 else can I help you with?
Is it possible for lightning to occur without making any sound?
Yes, it is possible for lightning to occur without making any sound. This type of lightning is known as "silent lightning" or "heat lightning," and it occurs when the lightning is too far away for the sound to be heard.
Does lightning occur in all thunderstorms?
No, not all thunderstorms produce lightning. Lightning occurs when there is a separation of charge within the clouds and between the clouds and the ground. Thunderstorms that don't have the necessary conditions for charge separation may not produce lightning.
What is snow lightning?
Snow lightning is when it is snowing and there is lightning at the same time. It occurs because of the same principles of storm cloud lightning: convergence of distinct temperatures, heavy particles in clouds, and ionized air.
Thunderlightingwindand rain occur in which which of earth ospheres?
Thunder, lightning, wind, and rain occur in the Earth's atmosphere.
Does lightning go from earth to clouds or from clouds to earth?
Lightning typically travels from clouds to the ground, but it can also occur between clouds or within a cloud. This happens when electrical charges build up in the clouds and discharge towards the ground, creating a lightning strike.
Where does freezing occur?
icy,snowing and in the fridge..
Where do lightning bolts occur?
lightning bolts occur in the clouds.
Does lightning occur on Venus?
no
Does lightning occur in the same or different place?
Lightning does occur in different places, but many more times then 2!
Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder seem occur together?
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.

What is it called when lightning and thunder occur together?
When lightning and thunder occur simultaneously, it is known as a lightning strike. Lightning is the electrical discharge seen in the sky, while thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air around the lightning bolt.
What 3 ways can lightning occur?
Lightning can occur when positively and negatively charged particles within a cloud separate, creating an electrical imbalance that is discharged as a bolt of lightning. It can also occur between different clouds or between a cloud and the ground when the charge buildup is released. Additionally, lightning can occur during volcanic eruptions when ash particles in the plume become charged and generate lightning.
Does lightning occur in all thunderstorms?
No, not all thunderstorms produce lightning. Lightning occurs when there is a separation of charge within the clouds and between the clouds and the ground. Thunderstorms that don't have the necessary conditions for charge separation may not produce lightning.
What do they use on building so lightning doesnt strike it?
Usally a metal rod on top of the buliding to attract the lightning
Where does lightning occur mostly?
Lightning will show up in lightning storms. Lightning storms usually occur in summer or warm places. The bolts will travel the shortest path they can so make sure you aren't near or are the tallest object around!
