Chasers Dave Demko and Nathan Bain intercepted an intense band of powerplant-effect snow near Lake Overholser west of Oklahoma City on January 31!

To my understanding, the factors came together just right to create this phenomenon. My question is how often does this plant create snowfall of any intensity? Does this happen every year? Does this happen only if the winds are from the southeast? I think this video is so cool.

Dammit, I should've known that would go over someone's head, lol.
It was a Forrest Gump reference XD
When I said that, I meant "Rain isn't the only thing that can come in sideways," in reference to when in the movie, Forrest was talking about how when he was in Vietnam, there was little rain, "big ol' fat rain," rain coming in sideways, and rain coming from underneath.

@Skaarjguy ...Snow can come in sideways because of one main reason: strong winds. That's how snow falls sideways during blizzards.

Wow! Very cool! Thanks for posting. And for those of you asking, PowerPlant snow is just that. Snow caused by the heat from a power plant. Very similar to lake effect snow but on a much, much smaller scale. Very rare. Factories can also cause this. Cool vid and 5*
