'Midsummer Snowstorm' was a fabricated snowstorm that took place on 21 June 2009 (Midsummer’s Day). A 500-yard section of the Jupiter Artland was covered in pulled paper whilst potato starch based 'snowflakes' seemingly fell from the sky, giving visitors the impression that they were entering into a snowstorm. Between 1 December 2008 and 31 January 2009, Liversidge submitted one hundred and thirty four proposals for Jupiter Artland, spanning a hugely ambitious range of projects. Three of the proposals – including Midsummer Snowstorm – were given material existence. Midsummer Snowstorm is 'proposal 3' and was brought to life with the help of 12 snow machines. The snowstorm was situated so that it is not visible from the main entrance gate.
