I have head that various types of precipitation can cause static and
have seen it to some extent but last night I think I witnessed it
nearly wiped out air ground communications at a major airport when a
snow storm passed through the area. The static could be heard on over
50 receivers most of which had their own antenna. Is this possible.

Yes.

Aviation uses AM, so yes you can hear percipitation static and lightning
noise and when airborne you can hear it from a long way away.

Though generally if the static is really bad you have bigger issues
to be concerned about than radio noise.
