Well, I'm in the North Eastern United States and it's snowing and freezing here!
I wish *someone* would hurry up and control things a bit better...send me some of that heat, Ok?

The Wyoming cloud seeding thing might work - or might not. Oklahoma tried it a while back when we were in a drought. Might have worked. Might not have. Nobody really told us when or where they were seeding. Of course, we're in a rather significant drought again, along with some nasty grassfires on the windier days (and Oklahoma is quite well noted for its wind!). I think it's been determined that cloud seeding does cause locally-increased rainfall (which probably is at the expense of closely-neighboring areas), and decreases hail size, but I'm really not sure of that.

As for those of you complaining about the weather and wondering who controls it... please ignore my signature.
Meteora,

Great to hear from you again!

Thanks for the cloud seeding info. I always thought it would have a local effect (if any), and probably be balanced out by the surrounding weather.

Meanwhile what a difference a few hundred miles makes. You and Tehas are warm, dry, and extinguishing fires. Here in N MS, we're cool, wet, and the only fires were from fireworks. The next few days we might see the 50s, but meanwhile every morning is frosty.

BTW, what happened to that wonderful Bell avatar? The present one is nice, but the old one included a funnel cloud as well as much more!

Every year the @#$% Canadians bundle up vast quantities of their surplus cold and ship it south of the border.

In a clear case of illegal "dumping", they do it at prices so low that the domestic evil weather-control conspiracy industry can't possibly compete in a marketplace saturated with cheap foreign weather.

We need to lobby Congress to impose a protective tariff on imported weather.

Sorry, but it's part of the WTO's free trade missions.

No kidding. Record warm & lip-cracking dry here... and, of course, the many fires. It seems odd to see local video on CNN so much... and it's not tornado season! Actually, it's not fire season yet, either!

"Bell" avatar? Hmm... I don't remember that one. I remember using a satellite image of a hurricane, and might vaguely recall something after that, but have no idea what it would have been. This avatar is my favorite tornado picture - Cordell Oklahoma, May 22, 1981, often referred to as the "Wizard of Oz" tornado.

Thanks, Wolverine. This forum is so much busier than the BABB that I can no longer keep up. So now, I just pop in occasionally and do a few searches on meteorological terms - and if I still have a little time, check out whatever's currently being discussed.

Here's what I was referring to:



although this one isn't bad, if properly cropped:



As one reviewer says, a definitely sexy weather goddess.

BTW, "Bell", as in "Bell Science Series".

[Dropping back in for a visit]

The avatar on top is the one I use at FWIS. Seemed a bit out of place here, for some reason.

"Sexy?" Hmm... not the term I would have used.

Hiya Meteora!!

The chemtrail club sure would have a lot to say about the sky here at my location. It is a beautiful blue sky with cottonball clouds interspersed with contrails from jet fighters criss-crossing and forming u-trails when reversing course. Beautiful, not ominous.

Hi tbm!

Clear sky here. Now. We had the little stratocumulus clouds earlier (thank you, invading cold air). No chemtrails in our sky.



On a somewhat related note:

http://www.etfriends.com/lisacloudpix.html

Scroll down about 1/3 to 1/2 of the page. Spaceships, disguised as clouds.

My apologies if this has already been posted. I simply cannot keep up with the traffic on this forum.

I get it! The weather control devices were invented solely for the purpose of disguising any weird weather effects from Planet X's approach!

If there is weird weather going on allready, no one will notice!
