I doubt there was a thunderstorm in the area in the middle of the winter

We’ve had thunderstorms in winter during snowfall Toronto.

But the snow rates were slow enough yesterday that I don’t think that was happening.

yeah, "middle of winter" wasn't quite right, but the chances of a microburst during what is an otherwise already windy/gusty winter day are basically none
