Thunder and lightening - JH and Targhee

[berkshireskier]

Apparently, both JH and Targhee closed their lifts yesterday, for a while, because of thunder and lightening in the area. How often does that happen in February in the Tetons? Crazy warm Winter out west. It will be interesting to see if they will break weather records for high temps over the Winter months.

in all fairness, thunder and lighting are a common occurrence during intense winter snow storms...

Happened to me last April at Tremblant. When they reopened it was raining at the bottom and snowing upper half. Seems like a more volatile weather pattern typical of spring. Thundersnow does happen but I have only ever seen that commonly in Utah
