Backyard Snowmaking in CT Part VI

This was the morning after an all night run. Temps started around 22deg WB, and dropped through the night to low teens. Was running 2GPM for the first few hours then upped it to 3GPM. I am running some heat tape on the gun - that is the power cord in the vid. I am also running the gun very high, as I wanted really dry snow (I couldnt even pack it - even in front of the gun) The pile is about 10ft high now. :-)

I think I like this video the best of the series, as you can really see the snow falling out of the mist.

where do you get the nuc. nozzle

[7hereverendmaynard]

@buster91dg - the nuc can be as simple as a normal teejet .... i like to use BETE XAAD or XAPF nozzles... (you can get them from bete.com

[Faggit555]

so if you have it up higher and th esnow is dry you cant pack it, so you want it close to the ground so you can right?

[7hereverendmaynard]

Yup. Or you could increase the bulk water too.
