Southern Snowman

Southern Snowman makes it snow at events that would not otherwise get any. The company runs movie-quality snowfall effect machines for holiday events around Raleigh and Wake County, and it also provides ultra-cool misting services when the weather turns hot.

Rick Nordman founded the business in 2007 after noticing how hard snow is to come by in this part of the South. The work now reaches businesses and communities across the Carolinas, and the effect is meant to look like the snow in a movie instead of a party novelty.
