It’s an average year for hail Storms but climate change is happening.
How much rain isn’t making to sask with this cloud seeding program?

You have my attention.

Albeit, I think most of our good rains come at us in the Slum of the Ghetto from the south west, from Montana.

[Blaithin]

East Central and a Special Areas have seen more rain than they have in a decade so it’s reaching them despite any seeding.

Also for us sitting here getting walloped weekly, how big would the hail have been if they aren’t seeding? 1 out of 3 caused damage here. Beats 3 out of 3.

The article also clearly says while an average amount of hail storms have occurred, the sizes have NOT been average. (Ha ha) And this increase in ferocity has been and is expected to occur as the climate adjusts.

Or did you just read the headline?

Was larger than average last night lol
We had just small hail here , but lots quickly
Did a lot of damage though

You do realize that the Alberta hail suppression program has been going since 1996, including all those years when SF got too much rain. So do you really question if this hail suppression program is stealing rain from Sask? Anyone who believes it is possible for a few light aircraft seeding select thunderstorms in south central Alberta can change the precipitation pattern in the next province but denies 8 billion people affect the climate deserves to be laughed at.

Beijing used 2 aircraft plus 20 ground launchers to keep the rain away from the olympics Durning their rainy seasons. Yes I question it When drum gets 3 inches of rain after some cloud seeding and the forecasted rain for Kindersley disappears hours after.

[Blaithin]

It’s a conspiracy. Alberta wants to be flooded while Sask dries up.

If Insurance companies get to use aircraft and technolgy, those of us downwind of major cities where they are using them should get to have SAM's Fairs fair.

Its hard to believe that these heavy water-laden systems separate at the same area time after time. Its odd, very odd. We’ve been around for 39 years of farming and haven’t seen a time where systems don’t change every six weeks or so. Even in our driest years (1988) the drought let up July 18 and we got inches in short order. And the southern half of the province was dry, not just one pocket missing showers, over and over same area.
