Sorry, I knew I should have done this before I started posting frantically, but here I go.

Hey from Chicago, Illinois. I've been expirementing with snowmaking for a couple years now and have bought too many things from snowstormsnowmaking.com and snow-at-home, needless to say that those days are over.
After spending like a hundred bucks on overpriced nozzles and plans, I sucsessfully made snow with a Tee-gun, and an sm4(which I no longer have).

My neighbors house is like 10 feet away from my garage and my garage has no insulation, so compressors are really loud(i'll fix that problem this summer).

I have no idea what my water pressure or flow is. I tested the flow by taking a gallon of milk and holding it under my spigot, pretty innacurate.

Some good news though, is that around here temps are pretty decent for snowmaking most of the winter, and hopefully this won't change.

I have absolutely no "setup". I borrowed my friends stuff many winters and broke one of their compressors(fixable). So I am planning on getting a compressor from harbor freight. and a pressure washer from an unknown source. Preferbly a karcher.

I might be familiar with snowmaking, but with nozzles not bought from snow-at-home, I am not too familiar.

Below are some photos of my 2008/2009 season. I didn't run this winter because I had studying and was really busy, although snowmaking should always be put first. Plus I gave away my sm4 to friends in florida, and I didn't feel like running my T-gun after running an sm4 fer a year...

Some pics as promised, srry there cell phone pix. Teegun- all snow done in 2.5hours. Wb was in teens... In the beggining my air wasn't coming out, hence the icicles on the steps...

Ya I do, but I have a small yard... Largest in my neighborhood though, like 40x 40 with a 5x5 foot tree in the middle... But I'm building a 15 foot drop in over the summer so I can have a massive kiker
