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’s not impossible, but the snow acts as sound insulation which muffles the thunder. Not sure about the lightning.
