Russia's emergency situations ministry says it is dispatching experts to a Siberian province to find out why yellow and orange snow has been falling in several villages, the ITAR-TASS news agency has reported.
"A chemical test unit will be sent to Omsk ... it's main task will be to investigate pollution in the region and establish the degree of danger represented by the anomalous snow fall," the agency quoted an unnamed official from the ministry as saying.
Snow ranging in colour from light yellow to orange and carrying a distinctive "musty"

It sounds so pretty, It would be nice if it was icy and in all different flavors, you could scoop it up and eat ICEES all day.
Kind of a nuclear Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.

It's very sad when the snow carries a distinctive musty.

The last time I heard the word 'musty' used it was describing horny male elephants on a nature program.

I think elephants are described as musky, attics and basements are musty.
