    Cloud-seeding over Vegas again

    anyone in vegas? talk a look in the southern sky. notice the tick-tack-toe pattern of comtrails over the sky. notice how the old ones form horse feather and wispy cloud cover. why are they forming clouds over this area? this happened yesterday and has been happening several times a week since febuary.
    i work facing the southern sky so i see this happen all the time. i take pictures too...

      example of late clouding seeding south of vegas. these are the types of wispy clouds formed from the comtrails. pic is from 12 31 06

                      well, it makes clouds.

                      the lasvegassun.com has an article stating that clark county contributes $50k a year to utah cloud seeding program. snow melt in utah drains into the river and ultimately lake mead.

                      therefore, it would be safe to assume that although cloud seeding over vegas will not cause rain or snow, but will instead decrease evaporation rates by blocking out the sun.

                      reducing evaporation rates seems to be a reasonable explanation.

                          not over vegas. not a chance.

                          i think it's to block the sun reducing evaporation rates.

                              Yes I was speaking generally, most times cloud seeding is used to create rain. Cool pic post more.
