And YES, Moscow has a lot of rear wheel drive cars that are SC
You know what Mike.... my motor is in pieces for better internals, since I've bended few rods (run a little over 6,000 rpms with about 11 psi of boost)
Wouldn't this concrete mix eventually settle on people,buildings,cars,ground,etc. and cause a whole slew of problems when mixed with snow?What about inhaling this concrete?

JRE56,
this "seeding" uses VERY small amounts...it is a catalyst and finely dispersed. In nearly all other cases, tiny grains of silver are used as seeds. But the NCAR group is using a mixture of sodium, magnesium and calcium chloride, and it appears this type of seeding works better than silver in drought stricken areas.
Before rain can form in a cloud, tiny specks of dust attract moisture from the surrounding area, growing into raindrops. Cloud seeding, basically, consists of adding additional specks of dust that are very proficient at coalescing with other droplets to form rain.
The seeds usually are released from an aircraft via pyrotechnic flares as the plane flies through the updraft below the cloud. Texas has 16 such aircraft, scattered around the state. The seeds are carried by the updraft up into the cloud, increasing in size as they gain moisture on the way up.
Research is showing that the type of catalyst and the timing at which it is applied during cloud formation are the most important factors....
So its not someone just dumping bags of cement out of an airplane

I can't believe you got anything from Cramer that cheap, they've always tried to rake me over the coals when I bought anything there.
Cramer Toyota in general is the worst dealer, I've had experience with. Service Dept especially. As far as parts Dept, is the best in our area. Next time you have to go to service, ask for John Wood, and tell him that Gene send you there, and he will take care of you!
