Tienen is well-known for its large sugar factory. The effect of the
extra water vapour released into the atmosphere by the factory and the
prevailing freezing fog led to the snowfall. A similar phenomenon
occurred in places in Germany.

This effect was not noted in York today, though the smell from the
factory often is.

When i was a student in York (many years ago) the smell was frequently
Chocolate (Rowntrees/Terrys)

Perhaps John Whitby may know if it has occurred previously, though I
have heard of similar events in Burton on Trent.

When I was working at the hospital in Holywell, then Flintshire, the
Ambulance drivers said that, as well as taking note of the local
weather forecasts, they would look at the visual output from the
arious factory/processing plant chimneys.
