Severe Weather Preparedness Week 2024. Emergency Preparedness Get a Kit, Make a Plan, Be Informed and Get Involved.

What would happen if a thunderstorm were to suddenly enter freezing air?

This is definitely impossible based on the way thunderstorms form, but theoretically you would just get thundersnow! You'd see the lightening and the winds, but instead of a lot of rain or hail, you'd just get snow.

And thundersnow is something that does exist. In fact, less than a week ago, a place in Montana was basically under a thunderstorm warning, the only difference being that it was SNOW instead of rain!! Here's that special weather statement from the National Weather Service....
