Why isn’t there thunder and lightning when it snows?

Explain it like I’m 5. Pretty much the title. Is it too cold when it snows to see the lightning? Do we just not see/ hear the storm as well?

It absolutely does happen. I was riding up the mountain on a chairlift in a thundersnow storm. Sitting 50 feet off the ground in a chairlift suspended on a steel cable held up by steel poles as you rise above the timberline is quite the experience.
