The Snow Man: China Delivers Unique Snowflakes to Masses
Last Summer, China kept Beijing's skies clear, mostly, during the Olympics by shooting chemicals into clouds — or cloud seeding, as it's called.

Contact with land brought the winds down from category 2 speeds to category 1, and now flooding along the Rio Grande has become the main concern over the next few days, thanks to Dolly's "sluggish nature."
