Geoengineering a Snow-Free Winter Fails In Moscow
dinoyum writes "Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov's promise of a winter without snow in the capital city has fallen short. While cloud seeding is not a new concept for Russia, often used on major holidays, geoengineering snow has never been done to that magnitude. Carrying off the $6 million procedure required jets to spray silver iodide into coming clouds, ensuring that all precipitation fell before it reached the capital. However a combination of disrupted radar, wind control, and faulty weathermen have been blamed by Luzhkov for his failed attempt at playing with mother nature. For now, Russia can go back to enjoying snow."
Fuck yeah
The first time this meme has ever made sense!
In (former) Soviet Moscow, Snow come to YOU.

That's because you don't understand Chaos theory, and that weather is inherently unpredictable.
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
seems weird they would be messing with cold weather precipitation cycles while the rest of the world is up in arms about the effects of global warming...
In soviet Russia we welcome global warming overlords....
3)profit!
Nah, I would have gone with:
In Soviet Russia, weather complains about YOU!
Information theory is life. The rest is just the KL divergence.
