Has anyone ever thought of a summer snow making system? with a freezer then all you do is shovel it out and put it on your take off. I just thought of it.

Before you go scheming any revolutionary ideas, it would behoove you to look into how snow is made. Here's a hint: It requires cold air temperatures.

Tis possible but one would need lots of money. A really big freezer would be expensive to run during the summer if it was outside.

Making a homemade snowgun work in the winter is pretty fucking difficult too (for like $50 I made one that spews water everywhere and falls over!)
