VIDEO: Thundersnow At Denver International Airport Captured On Camera
DENVER (CBS4) - An unusual thundersnow storm moved directly over Denver International Airport on Tuesday night. Thunderstorm is rare in most of the country but does happen with some regularity in Colorado, mainly in the early spring and late fall.
Thundersnow is simply a thunderstorm that occurs when it is just warm enough for a storm but still cold enough for for the storm to produce snow instead instead of rain.
⚡Thundersnow! ⚡
