Russia's emergency situations ministry says it is dispatching experts to a Siberian province to find out why yellow and orange snow has been falling in several villages, the ITAR-TASS news agency has reported.

"A chemical test unit will be sent to Omsk ... it's main task will be to investigate pollution in the region and establish the degree of danger represented by the anomalous snow fall," the agency quoted an unnamed official from the ministry as saying.

Snow ranging in colour from light yellow to orange and carrying a distinctive "musty"

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Brown Acid.

I think AL Gore should go there immediately. He should throw himself into a field of yellow snow, make snow angels and write a book about his experience.

Distinctive Musty would be a great name for a band.

Yes, but must he be distinctive?

[BallyBill]

Musky Muskellunge.

Watch out where the huskies go
and don't you eat that yellow snow

[pax_et_bonum]

I think elephants are described as musky, attics and basements are musty.

I thought elephants were described as tusky.

Unless they've been stored in the basement and so can be described as musty, or tusky-musty.

I just checked their weather. With SW winds, whatever is causing it could be coming from Kazakhstan. Probably isn't good. {Duh!}

[humblegunner]

Yes, but must he be distinctive?

Certainly he must.

I cite precedent: Please note the rapper P-Diddy.

Upon exiting the men's room, the question was posed: Did he pee?

Well, there you go.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I understand that Kazakhstan is supposed to have some of the most polluted areas on Earth.

"Well we come from the land of yellow snow/Where the cold winds blow and the people glow..."

Is it April fool's already?? Boy this year is passing by quickly!!!!

[labette]

LOL! The Viking Kitty / Led Zeppelin song!

[EQAndyBuzz]

Does this go towards Kyoto credits?

"A) Get serious about graduate school, buckle down and apply myself...

B) Devote more time to Frank Zappa and abusing psychogenics...."

I listened to ABBA and prayed the Palestinians wouldn't attack my village.

Fiddle-dee-dee.

[stbdside]

My python boot is too tight.
I couldn't get if off last night.
A week went by.
And now it's July.
And my girlfriend cried.
You got Stinkfoot.

[kalee]

They could be.
A musty, musky elephant would really be stinky, but I'd avoid saying it to his face as he might spear you with those tuskys.

[Tarpon]

Between Russia, India and China, the pollution must be unbearable. All the more reason to focus the global warming scam on the USA.

[pax_et_bonum]

I'd say it to his face unless he was really husky.

[razorback-bert]

Mellow yellow and orange sunshine together.
