subject: Why Is It Snowing Next Door? [print this page] Technology has caught up with snowmaking and now you can have the same snowfall that Amusement parks and film sets use, at very low cost and very easy to use. It may be in front of their house or in their back yard, or in front of a local store, restaurant or office, or at the entrance to a Winter Wonderland event, nothing gets more attention than a good snowfall when you live in a place where it never snows, or when it hasn't snowed for weeks.
First, you have to understand that snowfall machines create only a snowfall, and that the snow evaporates when it lands on the ground. In movies and commercials it looks like the snow is building up on the ground, but that is because it is landing on another type of fake snow that was already on the ground (instant fake snow made from powder with the addition of water, not with a machine). This type of snowfall, called evaporative foam snow, is a great way to bring attention to whatever you choose this holiday season, outdoors or indoors.
Imagine the possibilities for wowing your friends, guests, employees, customers, with a snowfall when and where it is least expected. And if you get a machine assembled in the US the snowfall will leave no stain or wetness behind because the few US companies that make them use a high grade of snowmaking solution that is not only clean but also environmentally friendly and biodegradable. So when shopping around be sure to ask if the machine you are buying comes from a US manufacturer and uses a US developed and patented snowmaking solution, so you won't be in for a wet or messy surprise when you use it.
Machines costing less than $200 are now available for home and office use, but you can also rent much larger commercial machines if your budget allows. Some home use machines have an inflatable option that you can attach to the same machine giving you an inflatable snowman or other figure as well as a great snowfall at the same time.
Add a little excitement and drama this Christmas with a snowfall surprise. Even a winter birthday party can be upgraded with a little snowfall. Of course, if you want snow that stays on the ground for snowplay or just for the look of it, you will have to look for instant fake snow from powder, and if you combine the snowfall and ground snow you will really have the Winter Wonderland you always imagined.
