Thunderstorms during cold weather conditions.

Hello all.

So I was curious has anyone on here experienced thunderstorms during cold weather conditions at the surface?

I have always found these types of thunderstorms to be quite peculiar, especially since thunderstorms are most often associated with the warm season.

Here in Ireland anyway, they occasionally occur behind the passsage of a cold front during autom and especially the winter months. I use to think that the passage of a cold front often lead to dry cool weather behind it. However, it seems there are exceptions. In Ireland anyway, I have noticed that behind cold fronts in winter, there are often bands of heavy showers with very windy conditions, and from time to time accompanied by thunder in coastal areas of the west, but occasionally moving inland. Often, there is just enough instability for just 1 or 2 rumbles of thunder and no more. The thunder is often accompanied by very gusty winds and grapple.
