Politicians are so strange that they actually believe what they tell the public as in the case of Moscow's mayor, who said he would hire the Russia Air Force to seed storm clouds with cement powder, dry ice or silver iodide to prevent any frozen precipitation during the winter months. Having once attempted to reverse the flow of the River Ob the mayor is no virgin when it comes to miracles and with a civic budget larger than New York the mayor suggests that the savings on no-snow winters would improve the life of Muscovites. His hand-picked city council has green-lighted the project after the city experienced the heaviest snowfalls since the winter of 1944.
26 inches for a double-John Holmes depth.
Of course there has to be some danger of mixing cement powder and ice at high altitude.
Not for the pilots of the planes, but those down below.
The sky most certainly will be falling if the mayor gets his way and even in Russia there is no fighting city hall.
