Thanks to reader Bluiis, (Again, Carol, is that you?) I see that this story was in fact one of the Internet's many hoaxes.
Website Super Tuesday News, an Onion wannabe, originally posted this story as a hoax and it sucked in a lot of people, including me. Of course this brings to mind the importance of proper research before posting, but then again I'm a blogger and therefore not bound by any sort of journalistic integrity.
It's raining snails from the sky! Uzbekistan is behind the snail-raining plot! There; see how easy it is?
Yep, that's me. :)
