1 thunderstorm: A 'thunderstorm' is a meteorological event comprising intense rain, thunder, lightning, wind and sometimes even hail (small hard balls of ice that fall like rain). In this broadcast, Candy tells us that for the past two weeks, there have been thunderstorms in Oklahoma. Note that the word 'thunderstorm' is a combination of the terms 'thunder' (the loud noises heard during storms) and 'storm' (the term used to describe a meteorological disturbance in the atmosphere).
2 snow: 'Snow' is the frozen water that falls from the sky during cold periods, often in winter.
3 snowstorm: A 'snowstorm' is a meteorological event comprising very strong winds, snow and ice. It is also sometimes referred to as a 'blizzard'.
