Thundersnow - Destructive turbulence?
Right now there is a pretty intense lake-enhanced band of snow going on to
the north of my home airport. Twenty four to thirty six inches (0.6 to 1 meter) of snow is expected in that narrow region over the next day. The forecasters included lightning and thunder in their discussion of this band of snow. I understand why there is the forecast of thunder and lightning activity, what they call "thundersnow," during this snow event but I am curious about the turbulence. Could an intense lake effect band of snow produce destructive turbulence equal to that found inside a strong thunderstorm? My guess would be no, but I am certainly no expert.
