That's a free-access link, because maybe you are interested in the science and maybe you are interested in Wisconsin but mostly because it's the last day of the month and the November allotment of gift links is about to expire.
The comments over there are all Human activity affects weather???!!!! Who'd've thunk it??!!!!!

I'm imagining the North Pole with a glass factory so that Santa always has the perfect snowy Christmas feeling year-round.
Are they certain their "snow" isn't powdered glass?
Next up, people rediscover the 1946 invention of cloud seeding to initiate precipitation. Anyone who has ever been close to a power plant in cold, humid conditions knows that the heat output generates tons and tons of fog too.
The folks running the American Birkebeiner ski race in northern Cheeseland had to really scale it back last year due to minimal snow. I'm sure they are looking at this and thinking........hmmmmmm.....interesting......
Like raindrops, snowflakes begin with nucleation, usually airborne pollen or dust. (Sometimes of meteoric origin, every "falling star" condenses into microscopic dust motes at wend their way lower and lower in the atmosphere until a raindrop carries them to earth.) Why not glass?
Hmm, looks like that giant urban heat island called Minneapolis near the start of the snow band might have had something to do with it. Lake Michigan has been crushing us with snow for the past day. No glass factory required.
A few years ago they were making snow at Cascade Mountain Skiing just north of Madison but the strong wind instead blew the snow onto I-94. Because it was night, and the interstate was otherwise clear, the icy conditions caught drivers off guard resulting in a number of bad crashes.
Does the article anywhere explain that condensing steam is the precipatory agent in this snow event? Saying "exhaust" is disingenuous at best, absolutely vilely contemptuous.
If the glass factory manufactures snow globes it all comes around full circle.
They make various types of specialty window glass. Good place to work regards pay, benefits etc. Hotter 'n Hades near the furnaces.
The urban heat island that is Atlanta Georgia is famous for spawning thunderstorms
Not the heat. The cooling towers evaporate about 25%of the thousands of gallons per minute passing through. This water vapor is what forms the fog.

So the Post must have concluded that the glass factory should be shut down?
that's it. Shut down all human activity.
Leftists, first.
I’m guessing this is the plant that makes plate glass for the Andersen Windows in Bayport, MN. It never shuts down.
Lakes affect rainfall... and many lakes are man/woman made... duh...
Wait, where is a couple inches of snow "heavy?"
Minnesota a couple inches of snow is "heavy" snow fall?
Heavy snow the size of light snow.
Glass, huh. Are environmentalists sequestering their smart phones and performing human rites to garner virtue? Repent!
Did anyone bother to cover the photovoltaic panels? On farms. At night.
Wind turbines are known to change local air currents, and force blight conditions.
Is the plant Green? No? That's 50 decredits... and no soup for you. Next!
No one doubts that you can effect rainfall and snowfall in a small area. After all, they've been seeding the clouds to produce rain for decades.
Wp wouldn't let me in. But this sure sounds like a mini version of lake effect snow produced when dry cold air passes over the relatively warmer moister air over the lake, causing it to pick up moisture and rise, forming clouds that then condense into ice crystals and drop snow starting 20 miles or so away from the lake. Think Bills games in Orchard Park.
Because the Wapo is so committed to "Science"and all, have they compared the volume of steam produced by the glass factory and its effect on the environment with, say, the Hunga Tonga undersea volcano?
I’m waiting for the report that 2” of snow fell in the vicinity of a wind farm and a solar array. “See? Man-made climate change!!”
Green open fields affect local weather. Photovoltaic farms (i.e. clear cutting) affect regional weather. Asphalt urban jungles are first-order forcings of local warming. Harvesting disparately distributed rare earth elements (e.g. lithium) cause climate change. Automated Intelligence (AI) consumes hydrocarbon energy by the Google ton. Wind turbines are aborting birds and bats, and beaching whales by the seashore.
Yes, fairly well. There is also a small amount of allowable particulate matter in the exhaust, they mentioned this as well.
Regardless of whatever the Post's commenters had to say, the article is not a global warming screed.
It's available on archive.today.
The Arab countries have been playing around with this over the past few years and this year managed to generate some impressive floods.
The comments at the WaPo are as you described. They seem to believe that any example of human activity affecting weather means that all their climate change claims must therefore be true. BELIEVE THE SCIENCE.
