Here's a pic of it... thought I made a thread though... Cost was $20 all fittings from fleet farm. Water and air mix together and come out a tiny hole. Drains the air compressor REAL good :)

Hope you make it as a eng. or machinist, cuz you won't be a plumber. You used a gas valve for your water line. lol. I wish it would work, cuz we sure could use it!
Just giving you crap, Indy!

I remember a while back,... when we had a crappy winter like this,...
Some guy in green bay had one of those machines they use at ski hills
to make snow,.... and he made about a foot of it in his whole yard
THAT was cool.
Man,... if I could do that for my 2 acres,... it would be pounded with sled
tracks for Christmas!

Think * Snow!

All you need is one of these:

a couple of hundred feet of 240 volt electrical cord, a couple of hundred feet of fire hose attached to a water source and 4 days of below freezing temps and you will have your foot of snow on your two acres.

Let me know when you have 'er done and I'll come down and ride with ya!

I know I did, the gas valve was cheaper than the water valve and it still works fine.

Nice pic John, but I wish that guy in the pic would have got out of the way so we could see the machine better... lol.

John,

Sounds like a plan!
I could even make 1 acre "carve-able" snow for ya!
If only a guy could afford one of those!

If its below 28 degrees it works great. Doesn't put out a lot of snow, but enough to satisfy you! Have never tried it in the "dead" of winter though...

LOL, about 8 years ago my buddy Joe and I were talking about getting a snowmaker, so I went on line and found one, and he bought it. He paid 800 bucks for it, and we picked it up in Iowa. Of course when we got it back to the farm, he figured out that it required more power than he had. It is still sitting in one of the sheds.
