Cloud or snow factory? (Eschweiler/DE)

Cloud or snow factory? The steam fumes of this lignite factory caused a narrow kilometers long streak of local snowfall all the way up to Limburg and Belgium. It was clear to see in satelite weather images.

Details

RWE Weisweller Kraftwerk - this plant is fired with lignite from the Inden opencast mine, which is just like the power plant of RWE Power AG. From the Netherlands, from the Vaalserberg, but often from further on, the water vapor clouds from the cooling towers are visible.
