I have a friend who made one of these... but for use in Texas.
As I recall, it involved a very large tank of liquid nitrogen to freeze the water as it left the nozzle.
Unfortunately, the nozzle kept clogging before very much snow could be made.
That and snow never sticks here.

Factions such as the Weather Underground . . . are high on his list of targeted terrorist groups.
This is funnier than you might have thought -- the Weather Underground was a name for a violent terrorist group in the 1960's. They started out as Students for Democratic Society. Interesting reading, BTW. (As an aside, many of the anti-war protest leaders can trace their roots to this organization.)

Move to a different area. I live in Minnesota, and we have half our normal amount of snow. And since MN is north, and normally gets a lot of snow, we are not only better equiped to handle that much snow that many of those who got it, we also enjoy it. Many of my friends are complaining about lack of snow because they can't play in it. Since we normally have snow, expensive snow toys (snowmobiles) are worth the cost if you enjoy it.

I remember seeing this on TV. 2 years ago.
