Yellow-orange snow falling in Russia

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"

Distinctive Musty would be a great name for a band.


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

How would "Yellow Musty and the Horny Elephants" sound as a name for a band?

"It's tough to say whether it's yellow sand mixed in snow or if it's snow mixed in yellow sand," a met official told Reuters.

Okay then.....

In Siberia, there are artificially enlarged industrial towns that are some of the worst polluting industrial complexes in the world. They are in deeply cold regions that would never have population and were built to exploit mineral resources and spread Soviet control as well as take advantage of Gulag slave labor.

Region was felt to be agriculturally worthless and therefore suitable to pollute without worry.

the airborne particulate is probably the reason.

Hey,

Get back on topic. It's the evil USA and it's horrible pollution that is causing global warming. (sarc)
