Thundersnow to frozen waves: crazy weather phenomena caught on camera

As the Beast from the East holds its grip on the nation, a number of freaky weather phenomena have been caught on camera.

Social media users have reported a number of strange episodes of bizarre weather, including thunder snow and freezing rain.

Thunder snow

A number of incidents of thundersnow have been recorded by Twitter users.

Thundersnow is an unusual weather event where snow falls as the primary precipitation during a thunderstorm.

Typically this occurs in an area of strong upward motion within the cold sector of a storm.

Unusually the thunder is often silent due to the acoustic dampening effects of the snow.

Twitter user @AberJohnny filmed the rare phenomena from their house in Denny, Central Scotland.
