Ground-based and satellite observations in the United States show that increased pollen concentrations in spring lead to more cloud ice and more precipitation—even at temperatures between minus 15 and minus 25 degrees Celsius. "This is supported by laboratory results showing that pollen acts as an ice nucleus, influencing the freezing temperature of water in clouds and promoting precipitation," says meteorologist Dr. Jan Kretzschmar, lead author of the study. Without these ice-nucleating particles (INPs), water in clouds only freezes at temperatures below minus 38 degrees Celsius. The findings were published in Environmental Research Letters.

The Maine shooter opened fire on a bowling alley / arcade called Spare Time during a youth event. The manager of Spare Time, Thomas Giberti (right), was shot in the legs 5 times while protecting 6 lanes of youth bowlers while they made it out the back to safety. He is now stable after surgery.

Tom Giberti is also the President of The Store Next Door which is a non-profit that works with the Lewiston School District to clothes and feed homeless kids in Lewiston so they can attend school. This is the type of person that we need 8 billion of.
