Has anyone tried using their pressure washer to make snow, im tired of
seeing grass and thought of giving it a try.


I haven't tried it, but my observation of snow making
eqpt at ski resorts is that they all seem to
use eqpt that mixes a lot of air with the water.
They typically use compressed air. *Some also
have fans of some type. *When you pass by them
you hear more air than water. *Since the pressure
washers I've used just put out water at high
pressure, I would tend to think it would not
work and you'd tend to get more ice than snow.
But, you could try it, who knows?


Even if it was ice at least it would look like winter in my back yard,
getting
tired of the no snow look, my problem I see is I only have one nozzle
a zero degree,
15-30 degree nozzle gives a finer spray
