weather [5] [comprehension picture quiz]

This symbol is of a snowflake which suggests that the snowfall is very slight, perhaps a simple flurry. Here is a symbol for more heavier snow, perhaps causing a slight covering of a few centimetres. Here is a symbol for much more heavier and snow, perhaps even a snowstorm causing drifts and bad road conditions. Here is a symbol which suggests lightning accompanied by rain. This could be over quite quickly. Here the symbol suggests much more intense lightning but this time without rain but perhaps with thunder. This could last for a longer period of time. Here the symbol suggests even more intense lightning and again without rain but perhaps this time accompanied by much stronger winds.

1. When might you not want to travel on the roads? 2. The symbol perhaps for a flurry? 3. Perhaps the time for building snowmen and sledging? 4. Not the time to stand under a tree? 5. Which is the symbol for lightning with rain?
