Observations have gone viral online: let's explain in detail what anthropogenic snow is!
"Anthropogenic" or "industrial" snow is a winter phenomenon where water vapor emissions, typically from an industrial source, lead to localized snowfall.
Anthropogenic snow is usually associated with cold, stable anticyclonic conditions, where ground fog, trapped by an inversion layer, does not mix and becomes supersaturated with water vapor.
Industrial snow has only begun to be recognized in Europe as a distinct local meteorological phenomenon in recent decades.
In late November and December, residents of some areas of the capital witnessed localized snow-white landscapes.
