cloud seeding...

[johnr]

All successful native rain dances involved meat and fire. Pretty common knowledge.

The sorry fact is that mrs johnr is just an imitation native

Whelp looks like the cloud seeders did a pretty good job in Williams county yesterday and didn’t even make the storms disappear! Bowman county not so much……..

Devils lake? I got all hunkered down and probably didn't get a tenth of an inch.

Yessir! Put all the damn outdoor stuff in the garage for the second time today only to see 5 mins of moderate-heavy winds again..told the wife I'm just ready for it all to blow away lol. Bad storms with any longevity only seem to happen while sawing logs it seems.

Mankind has such a sick fascination with messing with mother nature

someone was trying to pass a federal law prohibiting weather manipulation not long ago... seems like common sense, when you force rain in one county, you steal that same amount of water from another county, in agri areas this could really matter!

While that is not how that works, it was Marjorie Taylor-Greene that wanted to (or maybe did) introduce legislation to ban cloud seeding.

what is not how what works? What goes up must come down right? if you force it to come down in one place, it wont come down in another... Seems simple enough.

No, it is not that simple. Most moisture in the sky is dissipated not through rainfall, but through running into a dry air mass that then lowers the humidity enough to "dry up" the cloud and make it disappear. What ends up on the ground is only a fraction of the volume of water in the clouds above.

If it were as simple as you suggest, you have just developed a method for preventing floods. All you'd have to do is cloud seed to start draining the water out of the sky before it got to where Mother Nature would have originally wanted to put it.

But I digress and will let you all get back to your regularly scheduled programming.
