Short summary

We present the first-ever reported gamma-ray glows from a winter thunderstorm in continental Europe. Although two glows were detected at the same time, only one was ended by a discharge. Using advanced instruments such as the Ka-band vertically oriented Doppler radar and SEVAN detector, we gained new insights into the inner thunderstorm processes even in a cloud only 3 km in height.
