The Bell-Ringing Flicking Game with a Christmas Mini Pack

Snowp is a Japanese flicking game where you slide rings to scoop up jingling bells, coming to Kickstarter at the end of July for its first release beyond Japan.

Utah has always lived with water scarcity. Our cities, farms and ecosystems all depend on winter snowpack. When the mountains receive abundant snow, they store water that sustains the state throughout the year. When they do not, the consequences extend far beyond the high country, affecting nearly every aspect of life in Utah. This year has brought destructive wildfires, dust storms and prolonged heat — visible reminders of the challenges that follow an exceptionally dry winter, the driest snowpack year on record. These problems naturally raise questions about Utah’s water future. Can we continue to thrive under increasing pressure on our water supplies? More importantly, is there a path forward that protects both our communities and the natural systems on which they depend? There is practical hope — especially when individuals, communities, businesses and public institutions work together to strike a careful balance between growth, stewardship and the responsible management of Utah’s most precious and limited resource: fresh water. The reality of the megadrought The exceptionally dry winter of 2025-2026 occurred against the backdrop of a broader multidecade “megadrought” affecting the American West. Despite the record snowfall of 2022-2023, which produced flooding in some areas, one wet year does not...

Colorado’s weather modification program is seeing an increased interest in cloud seeding technology after the record-low snowpack this past winter. In the past couple of weeks, Weather Modification Program Manager Andrew Rickert said he’s received inquiries from two major ski resorts hoping to learn more about cloud seeding, which can increase the amount of snowfall a storm drops. “After a year like this, it makes sense that these ski resorts are looking for anything they can do to bolster snowpack,” Rickert said. “They’re very interested in seeing what else they can do to get more precipitation.” Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that has been around since 1946. It involves dispersing silver iodide, or other harmless compounds, to serve as nuclei around which ice crystals can form during a storm, Rickert explained. He said cloud seeding systems can increase a storm’s snowfall by roughly 8-12% when generators are turned on. News you can trust. Straight to your inbox.
