Cloud Seeding the Sierra Nevada for New Year's (plane left from FR HQ airport)
Self Research ^ | 112/30/2023 | Self/Me

Posted on 12/30/2023 5:35:15 AM PST by Drago

An aircraft owned by "RHS Consulting" (a cloud seeding company) left KFAT (Fresno/Yosemite Intl. Airport) this AM for presumably some cloud seeding over the Sierra Nevada. Wonder who is footing the bill? Ag interests? The state? Fill those reservoirs!

Climate change, cough.

Next they’ll be vax seeding.

Plane left from FR HQ airport.

I never knew Free Republic had an airport at their headquarters. You learn something new everyday.

My guess it would be the ski industry. I hear most resorts have not been able to open due to lack of snow.

Absent a deeper dive into the plane’s registration who funded its mission:

I can’t see how this will end well.

Mother Nature doesn’t like to be (f)-ed with.

I assume he was referring to Fresno, but I too had the same thought as you. 🤣

....meaning that those clouds will spill all of their moisture before the rest of us get any opportunity for rain.

Small world... I know a cloud seeder in the foothills of the Sierra. The person owns an equine pack station in the mountains and does the cloud seeding in the winter.

In checking the website, I see that the company is out of Nevada, which doesn’t necessarily preclude the individual that I’m thinking of, from being the subject of this thread.

I could call him up and find out, as I have a ski boat stored on his ranch near Prather.

That’s probably the best guess...

Some of the mountain ski resorts have their own weather events, while the surrounding areas can be blue sky for as far as the eye can see. Mammoth Lakes/Mammoth Mountains, is but 30 minutes away by air from the Fresno Airport.

Or an agricultural purpose?

The San Joaquin Valley is a major (world-ranked) food crop source.

They have been could seeding the Sierras for decades; both from the air and the ground.

Yeah, it was news to me as well that they’ve been artificially padding the Sierra Nevada snowpack.

I wonder how they sold this to the states to the east...

I thought KFAT was a radio station in Gilroy once upon a time.

Agree. I live in the foothills not too far from Fresno and I’ve been seeing massive chem trail patterns about every 4th day for over 2 years. I don’t think its about rain/snow because they do it all summer/fall (the dry season). But I’m not sure what it is.

Chem trails used to be partly aluminum—don’t know what they are using these days.....
