First come, first served.

Of course we work hard to squeeze all that snow out of the clouds before it gets away. No sense letting it go to waste in Wyoming where it'll just plain wear out after being blown helter skelter forever.....LOL

Wouldn't that mean that California and Nevada get it even before Utah?
Neither one of them seem to have an overabundance of moisture lately.

I've heard the stories about cloud seeding.

Actually, going back to the history of global warming, I've been told (by reliable sources) that there are petrified palm trees on or near the tops of some our mountains near where I live.

A good laugh early in the morning

This is the transcript on an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US Naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10 - 10 - 95.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES` ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
