Eh it’s not totally uncommon, although I can’t remember too many instances of it. I think I remember a bunch of it during the October snowfuck last year.

the lighting looks beautiful with the snowfall
I hope some of the photographers are shooting some pictures as we speak, I think the lightning and snow looks really cool

Aside from last years October storm, the last time I remember lightning and snowing was when I was a senior at UB, so 2002.
Overall we got about 4 inches in the city, not bad. I want more!

Happens every year just about, usually with supersqualls, a snow squall that develops an opposing rotation due to strong updrafts off the lake, the rotation creates static electricity, and then lightning. Another side effect of this type of squall, the static charge makes the snow stick to everything.
This morning’s thunder was probably lake enhanced.
