Okay here goes.
Snow Cannons work by a mixture of Atomizing water and Compressed air, which freezes into man made snow.
The difference is that Man made snow does not form snow flakes like natural snow does, it forms snow crystals which are more dense that snow flakes, because of the density of the crystal flakes it is prone to...
A. Melting quicker due to the high water to compressed air ratio at to high a temp.
B. Freezing at to low a temp due to the density of the crystal.

Temperature and also humidity that the man made snow is being produced is also critical.
Mark,
Sorry, was a hectic afternoon, late on we had a wipe out in the group that kept us occupied untill 8. I did come down to the Markony and then into the centre to try and catch people. Saw Jools (Norris) in the White Hart at the start of the Pub Crawl but gave up after that.
Will be back next year, will be later in the season though.
