An intense winter lightning event over Nova Scotia and surrounding waters January 11th/12th 2000 / Peter J. Lewis. : En56-280/2000E-PDF

"At the 2000 International Lightning Detection Conference the author presented a paper called Winter lightning in the Maritime Provinces of Canada. From this analysis for two winter seasons of Canadian Lightning Detection Network (CLDN) data it was evident that winter lightning in the Maritime Provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island) is far more prevalent than historical "thunderstorm day" climatologies would suggest. During this study one particular storm, which occurred in January 2000, stood out as an exceptionally intense lightning event; both in duration and in terms of the total number of cloud to ground (C-G) flashes. This paper provides a preliminary investigation into the meteorological dynamics, and an analysis of the C-G lightning flashes, that were associated with this event"--Page [1].
