That's exactly what it's all about. When you seed from the cloud, the torrents run better.

"painting all roofs white to increase the albido,"
It's "libido" or "albedo". Although I'm not sure what the color of the roof has to do with what goes on underneath it.

Well, now, pay attention people
Just in case you hadn't heard
There's some folks messin' 'round
With Mother Nature's little world, baby
And what they do is really freaky
They gets themselves a plane
And they fly it around with chemicals, baby
Tryin' ta make it rain
So when you're out there in that blizzard,
Shiverin' in the cold
Just look up to the sky
And thank the Government for the snow
And sing the low-down, experimental, cloud-seedin',
Who-needs-'em-baby? silver i-i-o-dide blues
Oh, yeah.
Woo!

Luckily for us timothy stepped into the breach.
