Jindy dam overflowing could mean AWESOME Shred snow!

The last time the Jindy dam overflowed was 1974.

In 1974 the snow depth peaked at almost 3 metres (by comparison, last years’ was less than 1.5 metres).

And when did these peak snowfalls occur? Yep, exactly the time the 2012 Boardworld Shred will be on!!!

Hooked up with a mate this week who is going to do contract work for Snowy Hydro.

He passed on info the cloud seeding is going to be stepped up a great deal this year because of all the moisture. Incase you hadn’t noticed the entire country is saturated.

Cloud seeding places sulphur particles in the air that encourage water molecules to become snow flakes.

Found the answer on the Thredbo site!

Cloud seeding involves adding artificial ice nucleating particles into clouds containing sufficient below freezing water droplets to initiate the ice nucleation process. There is a range of different seeding agents that can be used depending on local conditions. These include dry ice pellets, some bacteria, liquid propane and silver iodide.
