    The Colder Hobby

    Got into this stuff a few years ago when i was like 14-15. Yesterday I got a phone call from some millionaire in the next town over who heard about me and wants to drop like a grand on getting their front yard covered for some party. Decided to dust off my stuff and see if i still have what it takes

    The results you see here are from about 20 minutes of running about half the GPM's im capaple of in EXTREMELY margninal temps for snow making. Last year i made a 6 foot high pile overnight.

      Its a measurement called the wet bulb that predicts when its possible. The wetbulb is a combination of temp and humidity. I can make snow at 34 degrees if the humidy is like 0% but i cant make snow until like 25 degrees if the humidity is 80%. And the colder and drier it gets the more snow you can make, and the better quality it is.

                So if temps go up a couple degrees in the next 24 hours, there's a 1000 melted dollars on that lawn?

                  Its using about half as much water as your hose running all the way open, actually less.

                  I mean who cares, i got snow on my yard niggaaaaaaaaaahhhh when no one else does. Not a single person drives past without stopping. It aint easy flossin like this.
