I have seen lightining during a snowstorm and it is truly a beautiful thing to witness! But I have heard people talk about global warming and environmental changes are causing more events like this to happen. I cannot deny that I have seen more thundersnow in recent years than I have in times past. But I can't say the 2 are related.

I mean, will it? Cause most of the time the weather guys say a county is under a Severe Weather Watch and should avoid traveling/driving in the area, but then it's sunny, no snow, and not that cold!
Tell me what you think. Have a nice night and a safe tomorrow!

Does the temperature increase when air pressure increases, or does the temperature decrease when the air pressure increases?

Tree rings show Earth was warm 800 years ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — an unusually warm period a millennium ago may have been part of a natural planetary cycle, say researchers who studied tree rings.
The study, appearing in the March 21 issue of the journal Science, analyzed ancient tree rings from 14 sites on three continents in the northern hemisphere and concluded that temperatures in an era known as the Medieval Warm Period some 800 to 1,000 years ago closely matched the warming trend of the 20th century.
In recent years, many climate scientists have said an unprecedented warming spell that began last century and continues is caused by an enhanced greenhouse effect. While the natural greenhouse effect keeps the Earth at a liveable temperature, the enhanced greenhouse effect is blamed on an increase in the atmosphere of gases, principally carbon dioxide, from the burning of fossil fuels.
The tree-ring study gives another perspective on Earth's natural cycles; said Edward Cook of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y. Cook is co-author of the study with Jan Esper and Fritz Schweingruber of the Swiss Federal Research Institute.
Cook said the study shows the Earth to be "capable of rapid changes and long periods of above average warmth on its own without enhanced greenhouse warming caused by human activities.
"We don't use this as a refutation of greenhouse warming," said Cook. "But it does show that there are processes within the Earth's natural climate system that produce large changes that might be viewed as comparable to what we have seen in the 20th century."
Cook said the study found that, based on the growth of rings in the trunks of trees that lived hundreds of years ago; the temperatures during the Medieval Warm Period were about equal to the warming trend that started in the 20th century.
"Greenhouse gases (added to the atmosphere by humans) were not a factor back in the Medieval Warm Period," said Cook.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an international group, has predicted that the current warming trend will continue deep into the 21st century, with average temperatures rising by from 2.5 and 10 degrees.
Cook said data used in the climate change panel's calculation is based on a model that compared the preindustral age climate with the climate of the 20th century. The model did not include a Medieval Warm Period. Including data from that era could change the calculations, Cook said.
"The Medieval Warm Period is in some sense comparable up to 1990 in the 20th century," said Cook. "But that does not say that the 20th century hasn't been perturbed by greenhouse gases. The real challenge is to factor out the natural variability from" manmade causes of global warming.
Cook said the panel's temperature warming prediction could be correct. Based on the new tree-ring data, however, he said the warming could be in the lower part of the temperature range forecast by the group.
Keith Briffa and Timothy Osborn, climate scientists at the University of East Anglia in Britain, said the study by Cook and his colleagues "provides evidence for greater climate swings in the last 1,000 years than has yet been generally accepted."
In a commentary in Science, Briffa and Osborn said a need exists for more such independent studies to refine predictions for global warming in this century.

I read something when I was searching in Google that said that a tornadoes have been known to form in temps as low as 32 degrees. So could it be possible that one could form during a snow storm?

Snowstorm or ice coming here soon. I am thinking about salt because I live on a hill and will never be able to get into my driveway. Maybe I should just buy some sand and a great shovel

When it snows and you look up into the sky it looks white, this is unsurprising, but is it the bottom of the clouds from which it is snowing that you can see or is your vision of the clouds obscured by the infinite number of white snow flakes between you and the base of the clouds?
