No it is not exactly rare AA

 

It is just a thunderstorm in a snow producing cumulonimbus cloud - actually fairly common in the polar/arctic airstream we are in - the higher sea temperature activates the clouds and the sub zero air temperatures at the bottom of the cloud ensure the snow falls.

 

Good visual effects can be seen though as the snow reflects the lightning flash, where rain doesn't, and it quite often sounds louder as the air is still and distant sound is dampened by the snowfall

 

I hope that explains it all for you?
