Lake affect snow thunder

I was talking with some friends up in western New York which has been getting hammered with snow off of lake Erie for the last week. They said that during one of the nights they heard a couple rumbles of thunder. Is that possible ? I grew up around there and never had I heard thunder or seen lightning during a snow storm. Interesting to say the least......Weatherchef
