No Snow

In the News: Moscow's mayor to arrange for a snow-free winter in Moscow. How, you might ask? "For just a few million dollars, the mayor's office will hire the Russian Air Force to spray a fine chemical mist over the clouds before they reach the capital, forcing them to dump their snow outside the city." I suppose, since snow removal must be expensive, a few million to get Mother Nature to dump the snow elsewhere would save a lot of money. Personally, I'd rather have the snow. It'll be sad that there won't be winter scenes in Moscow's Red Square this year, and just the freezing cold.

  1. Wonderfully odd idea that, I wonder if it will really work?

  2. I really think I'd prefer snow. I gerw up in Alaska, and it is kind of depressing when it is cold and no snow because the colors and dark and dreary without the white and blue blanket.
