People in the city took videos of the thundersnow, a rare event where thunder and lightning accompany a snowfall.
As Toronto was dumped with 20 to 30 cm of snow overnight, residents were met with some weather that wasn’t so expected during a winter storm — thunder and lightning.
Dubbed “thundersnow,” this rare event occurs when thunder and lightning accompany snowfall in a storm.
The thundersnow left Toronto residents shocked, excited and confused. Here’s a look at how some reacted around the city.
