[edit] Changes

Removed infomation regarding home made snowmaking due to inaccuratenesss and added graph so people understand under what conditions snow can be made.

[edit] Temperature

I find this wording confusing:

If the surrounding air temperature is near or below freezing, the droplets of water tend to evaporate and rapidly cool. This method only works when the ambient air is at 0 °C (32 °F) or lower.

It sounds to me as tho in one case you don't get snow and in other you do, but both cases include below 0 °C temperatures. --Tysto 23:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

  • I think there is a need for more mention of the role that relative humidity plays in snow making--Grimesy

[edit] Why is artificial less accurate?

I'm an experienced snowmaker from Whistler BC, artificial snow would be made from a substance other than water. The product we are producing these days is very similar to the one mother nature produces. From the article:

The term artificial snow is mistakenly used for the produced snow; a more accurate term would be man-made snow.

I don't see why man-made snow would be more accurate. Man-made and artificial are synonyms. (Webster's Dictionary gives man-made as the first definition of artificial.) Especially if a woman is operating the snow cannon… —Caesura(t) 21:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
