Having more snow days might sound like the stuff of nightmares for adults relying on public transport, but that's exactly what scientists are trying to make happen.

For decades, atmospheric researchers have been exploring ways to effectively make it rain or snow on demand - and not just so we can have a white Christmas - but as a potential manmade response to environmental problems like drought and crop failure.

While on paper the idea seemed flawless, until now, it hasn't worked outside of a lab.
