    How to make FAKE yellow snow?

    I need to write something on the snow pack and my bladder and penmanship (and that is the correct analogy) are not adequate to express myself in one go, even after a six-pack.

    So what would be a good substitute for making yellow snow? And a realistic delivery system so I can avoid footprints?

    you might consider watering down some tumeric and putting it in a diner condiment squirt bottle ... watered down french's mustard might work ...

    Hey Frank

    How about a step ladder, pressure sprayer for delivering weed killer (little tank w/ pump & spray wound)& Lemon Koolaid(or like beverage)?

    If you screw off the spray angle nozzle it should come out in a stream. Like a fellow taking a long leak in the snow.

    Another delivery system could be a Super Soaker water gun.

    You could use a 9-12' step ladder so you can cover more ground with the writing. A rented cherry picker would be the best if budget allows.

    the Koolaid would be cheap & not sticky if you leave the sugar out.

    This is one way to skin the" wizzzz in the snow" cat.

    Damn you, Frank. Now I've got that song stuck in my head.

    "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow!"

    Koolaid with a garden spray bottle or tank sprayer but there easier ways to make Christmas cards.

    Chet Atkins comes closer with his classic:

    "I still write your name in the snow"

    I'd probably mix some mountain dew and iced tea together and dispense it with a garden sprayer without the nozzle.

    If you have a big car/van/suv you could recruit some helpers to do it the old fashioned way.

    I used food colouring diluted in a fairy liquid bottle - I found the orange food colouring gave a more realistic effect

    I look at urine all day, and not a lot of it is stricly yellow, more straw coloured - depends on how much your drink, after a six pack I'm so hydrated that its usually pretty clear!

    At night: yellow fluorescent dye delivered by Super Soaker and lit by UV.

    Frank, It's not going to be yellow after you drink a six pack anyway!

    Take jp498 and Jim's idea and put them together. Mountain Dew in a Super Soaker water gun.
