[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)
- I can say that to me the term artificial snow means that fluffy bagged crap you buy at a department store and stick inside your house as decoration. 128.208.35.197 01:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- How about this: synthesized snow 71.168.108.66 20:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sure there are some reputable sources out there that have already dealt with this issue. --Gbleem 13:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] rename article: Snow machine
I took pictures of three different kinds of snow machines. I think the article should be renamed snow machine and then have the three kinds in the article. --Gbleem 13:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
