in the park on Christmas for the kids.

But I don't know where to start. And maybe for next year. Or Christmas in July or something like that.

Anybody have any experience with this?

1. No, but we just had White Hanukah in Calvert County!!!

3. I was born in Calvert County!!

Ok, technically I was born in Baltimore City, but we lived in Calvert County, and Dad had to drive Mom into Baltimore City when she went into labor.

2. Ski resorts make snow

Got one nearby?

4. it's like an hour away and most of the kids never really get a chance to go

so I was just wondering what it would involve to make it snow in one park over a winter season (not the whole season mind you)

5. Google snowmaking machines. There's a number of pages for rentals and purchase. nt

7. I appreciate that, and of course I already did that, but

don't know how many I would need for a smallish park (maybe an acre or two with a killer hill) and just if anyone had ever done something like this before.

6. Invent It So It Doesn't Snow On The Roads

Parks, check!
People's front yards on Christmas morning, check!
Roads and sidewalks, no way!

8. Just out of curiosity how cold or warm will it be in your area?

Shoot, I'd give one of the ski areas a call and tell them about your idea and ask for some guidance.

They don't know you and it's not like you are a competitor or asking them to do something illegal

9. I am in Baltimore. hence "Baltimike"

it gets cold enough to support it
