(Flashback) China seeds rain clouds, causes early snowfal

Chinas Beijing Weather Modification Office caused early snowfall on Sunday after seeding rain clouds to ease droughts in the region. Scientists reported spraying clouds with 186 doses of silver iodide in hopes of causing rainfall for wheat crops suffering from drought. However, a cold front swept through the region, causing the rainfall to turn into snow, which continued to fall throughout half of the day.
