I actually though that fake snow was made by some kind of chemical mix and i never looked into it... thanks mom and dad :D,(reply>), +Faraonqa That would indeed be fake snow and I guess it exists. But this is indeed making actual snow. This kind of snow usually has a slightly different feel and texture due to the way the snow flakes are formed makes them have different shapes than natural snow flakes but it is indeed real snow.,(reply>), It is. These guys are synthesizing real snow. :),(reply>), +TheSpacecraftX Movie snow always looks dreadfully fake if you're used to real snow. Mostly because it doesn't melt and make the actors' faces red.,(reply>), +TheSpacecraftX When I think of "the stuff inside nappies"  I am not thinking of something I want to be playing with.  ew!  (but the absorbant stuff in an unused one is pretty amazing!),(reply>), +Faraonqa Some are. The same stuff inside nappies (diapers if you're american) has a similar effect if you take it out and add water. It stays dry to the touch and looks like snow. movie productions tend to use chemical ones because (as is explained in the video) to do it naturally you need to already have low ambient temperatures.
