Unless you have a HUGE air compressor, that'll be your chokepoint as far as productivity goes.

I run a hose from my house and run out of air before water.

I built mine. It was pretty cheap and really, really easy.

Nice Job!

It didn't get nearly cold enough here to make snow.

My problem (snowmaking-wise) is that I'm near Lake Quinsigamond and in the early season, when the temperature drops, the lake produces huge plumes of fog as the heat dissapates out of the water. The humidity goes way up and my productivity drops like a rock.

Why wasn't I invited? Sky promised I'd see an invitation this year. I was even going to bring beer. And my limitless knowledge of physics and engineering... which becomes very limiting after the beer has a say in it.

We could aim at Sky and see how long it takes to turn him into a freakishly tall snowman.

Has anyone tried just using a pressure washer?

When you use the nossels they stream of water turns into a mist once you get 2 feet out of the nozzle

I have always wanted to try this but I never had one around in the winter
