===Upslope flow=== Similar to the lake effect regime, thundersnow is usually witnessed in terrain in the cold sector of an [[extratropical cyclone]] when a shortwave aloft moves into the region. The shortwave will steepen the local lapse rates, allowing for a greater possibility of both heavy snow at elevations where it is near or below freezing, and occasionally thundersnow.<ref>National Weather Service Office, Sacramento, California.
