I was well aware of the term "winter thunderstorm" but had never before heard it called "Thundersnow"
So a search for other "thunder" words gave these.  Most are self-explanatory

Thunderbird
Thunderbolt
Thundercrack
Thunderclap
Thunderfart
Thunderflash
Thunderfly
Thundergay (village on Isle of Arran)
Thunderhead

The list goes on.

What struck me was that 'thunder' and 'snow' is not particularily rare, so whay the fuss. I've witnessed it here at Southend-on-Sea a couple of times over the years

It just makes for an easy story for lazy journalists.   No doubt impressive in the areas affected - I vaguely remember thunder and lightning  during the snowy night in London in February 1991 when London caught 20cm of snow.  That was a similarly cyclonic situation.
