Thundersnow captured near Scots town as rare phenomenon seen in video footage

This is the rare moment "thundersnow" was captured near a Scots town.

In the footage, taken near Turriff in Aberdeenshire, snow can be seen falling heavily near a home on Wednesday night. As the blizzard continues, a huge flash of light can be seen as a bolt of lightening appears in the sky.

A loud crashing of thunder can quickly be heard as the noise echoes around the hills. Thundersnow - also known as a winter thunderstorm or a "thundersnowstorm" - is a kind of thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation instead of rain. It is considered a "rare and unusual" phenomenon.
