CITC Little Blizzard

Why The Little Blizzard and Sound Proof
Snow Machines Are Better Than All the Rest

When CITC designed a quiet snow machine in 1993 that could run continuously and throw realistic looking snowflakes, it became a technical achievement for the “snow effects” industry. If you need ground cover, take a look at our boxed artificial snow. The two effects work great together.

The Little Blizzard has superior technology. The Little Blizzard not only has more sound insulation than any machine on the market today, but it also has a newly designed reverse-sound, venturi system that bends sound waves.

Even quieter is the Little Blizzard Sound Proof (SP). Besides being the quietest snow machine in the business, the Little Blizzard SP/DMX has several features that set it apart from the imitators. Included is:

Now you can control the perfect size snowflakes and have them float (not fall like rain drops or clumps of foam) until they evaporate. What a big difference!

CITC have researched and tested the imitators, and prepared a chart for you to compare the quality and uniqueness of CITC’s Regular Little Blizzard and SP snow machines.

Fluids
(1 gallon lasts approximately 1 hour at continuous output)
Now you can control exactly how long you want snowflakes to float before they evaporate.
CITC gives you a choice of 6 types of fluids.
Item   Our Price

LITTLE BLIZZARD BASIC FLUID - Long-Lasting; Wetter Flakes - Gallon
Designed for low cost falling snow that stays on the ground for over 3 minutes. It does leave a tacky residue. This is a heavier, quick falling snow not a "floating snow" and is similar to all competitors snow fluid on the market.
  $18.90

LITTLE BLIZZARD FLUID Extra Dry (travels up to 50') 30-40 sec. - Gallon - Best Seller!
The favorite, this popular fluid causes the snow to float when coming down, evaporating on contact when using a fan, which assists in evaporation of the water content. Use for snowing less than 50'.
$41.66

LITTLE BLIZZARD FLUID Dry (travels beyond 50') 40-60 sec. - Gallon
Suggested for snow that flies 50' to 99', or when it is evaporating to quickly due to a drier atmosphere for the audience to be able to touch the floating snow. They love to touch it!
$41.66

LITTLE BLIZZARD FLUID Dry 100 (travels beyond 100') 60-90 sec. - Gallon

Specifically designed for dry climates or when you blow Little Blizzard snowflakes over 100'
  $41.66

LITTLE BLIZZARD FLUID Super Extra Dry 20-30 sec. - Gallon (Minimum 4 Gallons)

For use when fast evaporation of falling snow is mandatory. When fans aren't possible to use, or when snow cannot touch the floor or an object. Designed to make the snow float, not fall.
  $47.95

LITTLE BLIZZARD FLUID - ULTRAVIOLET 30-40 sec. - Gallon (Minimum 4 Gallons)

Reacts with side lighting or washing with UV lamps, lights or other UV enhancers. Used with a strobe, this will change to white, then back to Pink, etc. When the lights go off for 3-4 seconds, there's' nothing left! It's like magic! UV snow is always mixed with Extra Dry Little Blizzard Formula for a no-residue floating snow. Available in light pink, light blue or white.
