What is a thundersnow ?

We're gonna be getting one this weekend my girlfriend is kind of scared she's never heard of one. I don't think i ever heard of one either. She read about it it said it had some kind of cyclone with it to her it sounds like a tornado which scares her. Luckily we're more south into the state so hopefully it won't effect us much. What the hell is a thundersnow ? How can I make my girlfriend feel safe through one ?

Surreal experience.

Spent time near KS and we'd get them. A week before xmas, was walking home one night and the sky opened up in a torrent of giant snow flakes. Lighting overhead, thunder, the works above snow cloud.
Switched to pounding hail 10 mins in, everyone ran.
You're right, think it's a tornadic thing. Or in severe T storms. We'd get a cyclone sighting in the state every time it rained.
