Might be too cold to snow?
Exactly the same thing as heat lightening. Neither are real.

If it's too cold the Killington Reach around effect will add the heat. This is the oddest weather event of our time.

This is what we know....:giggle:

There is a nozzle hitting the greens and whites. The nozzle is pumping water over the great lakes. As it hits the mountains boom.

Is it too warm to snow. Not sure...

Incorrect. Cold air can be dense enough to push less dense moisture laden air awa.

and there’s another name for the so called heat lightening. I forget what it is.

Jim Cantore, the weather channel would argue my point (because I learned it from him).

And yea, I skied "with him" at Killington. The lifts were closed and he was hiking up. Can't remember the date.

It was snowing and there was lightening. Think of a jet flying over... You see the jet, butt the sound lags. If there is a lightening boom you can see the lightening, butt never hear the sound. Happens all the time. Heat lightening does not exist.

That’s it! So it is a real thing just given a name that makes one think it’s a different phenomenon. But that‘s what it is. Mostly. Sprites can also be mistaken for “heat lightening”.

Jim is a weather egg head but if he said that cold air can’t push warm moisture laden away I think maybe you misunderstood him.

At this point, not thinking we need weather that extreme for the SKI - OFF.
