Yes Virginia, there really will be snow in San Francisco this Christmas. The atrium of the Hyatt Regency, which always gets pretty over-the-top festive around the holidays anyway, will soon feature a constant shower of magical fake snowflakes that evaporate as soon as they hit the ground. As Leah Garchik reports, the Evaporative Snow® will start falling on November 19, and the manufacturers assure us that it’s totally safe with food. “[It’s] a laboratory formulated foam based solution… The quick answer is it’s a fake snow flake, which is dense foam blown through a special filter that creates small and various sizes of tiny white bubble flake like clusters creating the illusion of snow.” [Chron/Garchik]
