Snow? In Georgia?

Soap bubbles, really. A local shopping center manufactures its own "snow" to add to the holiday buying spirit. It sounded like a cool idea, so we decided to check it out last night. Unfortunately, the written description made it sound much more grand than it was in reality - a few small pseudo-snow machines strapped to the sides of light poles (not very high, mind you), and spewing forth their flakes in fairly small, directional streams.

It was amusing for about 60 seconds.
