Welcome to the Realm of Nerdom

If you haven't closed the tab already, you're in the right place.

It also means you're one of the lucky few who are G.A.P. Geek and Proud that is. Here, you will be able to indulge your nerdy self, reading articles on all the things "the popular people" don't want to talk about, watching my picks of the week, and having something else to do apart from sit on the computer ignoring pokes.

D.I.Y. Snow

Snow. The best way to get out of work, school, and court trials. Of course, that relies entirely on how much is there. Even this, which was what we experienced on the 05/02/2012, did not warrant a day off.


So, what do we need to get a day off? More snow. But how do we get it? Prayer is unpredictable, and it isn't particularly cost effective to throw crushed ice in a manner similar to a drive by shooting. So, what do we do? Who do we turn to? The answer is clear. Science!

All clear now, isn't it? Or not. So, read on below for the Realm's How To Guide to making it snow.

  1. Buy a plane, ideally with some kind of spraying apparatus. Come on, they're not that expensive. Worst case scenario, just climb a very tall mountain.
  2. Buy a cold liquid/gas, such as Dry Ice or Liquid Nitrogen. Try not to stick your hand in it, though it is a lot funnier than the old "hand in warm water while they're sleeping" prank.
  3. Send up a disposable pilot, with the gas. And by disposable, I mean not important, not a blow up one.
  4. Tell them via radio to drop the gas over a cloud, in a method known as cloud seeding. The cold liquid/gas will increase the mass of the cloud, causing precipitation to occur.
And there you go, the Realm's easy 4 step guide to making snow. And it's perfectly possible.
