Skiers and other snow sports enthusiasts can become lightning casualties. Two such accidents are reported, one being fatal. There are fewer warning signals of impending lightning strikes in winter-like conditions. However, outdoor activists should be aware of at least two suspicious clues: the appearance of convective clouds, and the presence of graupel (snow pellets) during precipitation.
滑雪者和其他冰雪运动爱好者可能会成为闪电袭击的受害者。据报道有两起此类事故,其中一起是致命的。在类似冬季的条件下,即将发生雷击的预警信号较少。然而,户外活动者至少应留意两个可疑线索:对流云的出现,以及降水期间霰(雪丸)的存在。
