As I wrote in my Post on page 1, in Russia the observation of CB is 20 to 50 times more frequent than in any other country in the world. The reason for this unknown is unknown to me. They do so in ANY kind of non-stratiform precip. If there is a shower, it's always a CB in Russia. There was not one lightning flash and again, just look at the sat imagery of the time, no "cells" and there was also technically no CB. Over the town itself top cloud temperature was -26, you can check it yourself with mouseover. This has nothing to do with a CB. At least some rules in Meteorology also apply for Russia.
