And recent observations of the skies over Moscow indicate he may have already tested out his plan…with some eye-catching results.

How did that work out for him?
A total of 392,000 cubic meters of snow have been removed from Moscow streets in the past 24 hours, a spokesman for the Russian capital’s authorities said Sunday. He said since the start of the winter, over 17 million cu m of snow have been cleared in Moscow. Meteorologists say February has seen record snowfalls in the Russian capital in the past 40 years.
Don’t mess with Mother Nature.
