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?

I can’t tell you why thunder and lightning is more rare during snow but I can say it does happen. It’s called Thundersnow and it’s extreme. I thought my house was going to shake apart.
