Why, Yes Virginia, It Does Snow in California!

Snow Time Instant Snow Why, Yes Virginia, It Does Snow in California!

Yep, we definitely had snow in the Bay Area this Christmas. Ok, it WAS out of a can, but it was still cold and felt just like the real thing!

I first saw this fake snow at Harrods in London and I was freaking mesmerized. For a Californian who has seen snow maybe 5 times in her whole life, it was one of the highlights of my trip! Slight exaggeration. icon wink Why, Yes Virginia, It Does Snow in California!

Watch as water and snow mix and expand.

Then fluff with your hands and you get what looks and feels like the real thing!

You can’t tell me this doesn’t look real! It stays this way until you dry it out, then you can use it again.

  • Oh fun! I remember having some of this as a kid and thinking it was SUPER COOL to have snow in the summertime (I live in New England)… then I grew up and had to drive in it! Hahaha.

  • Haha! You can have the snow here!! And yes, it looks very real. I don’t think I’ve seen any “snow in a can” that’s depict snow that realistically until now.

  • That does look real! We had so much snow here last year I’ve had enough of it. We NEVER prepare for it as a country and everything grinds to a halt, which sucks a little, but it’s SO pretty!

  • THAT is just so very cool! Ok I’m going to have to find some for my son. We’re in FL, and I didn’t see snow piled up until I was 20 or 21. (It did snow in FL when I was 7 however I do not remember it). We took our daughter to see snow when she 4, and so far our 9 yr old is snowless.

    Even to this native Floridian, that looks real to me! NEAT NEAT NEAT!

  • Aww this is adorable! Probably much better than the real thing too as it doesn’t turn dirty and muddy!
