Yes in short... your
fog will eventually warm and rise turning into a
haze... I have used an Antari ICE they are pretty good units, I have also used both
haze and
fog effects at the same time. Remember a
hazer is going to give you the
haze effect faster than waiting for
fog to dissipate in to
haze. Also in my opinion some
fog effects that dissipate into
haze just do not look the same as
haze. Also
fog as well as
haze is typically affected by environmental factors in the case of
fog... which if it is low lying will be cold, will be drawn toward heat. If you are using it for
stage applications with lights the heat will draw it up. Also...
HVAC, open doors, fans, drafts, and more will cause the
fog to move often where you do not want it to, combine that with a heat source and all of the sudden a pretty cloud of
fog that is on the
ground is getting sucked up and pushed around. I have literally spent hours playing with foggers, hazers, fans, and venting to create the
effect I want, so you may have to work with your rig a
bit to accomplish this. One other thing you say you want a snow
effect, do you mean snow on the
ground or like snow that is falling, or both because you could also look at snow machines (not like the ones they use at ski hills... but for special effects use) and get a snow falling
effect... which in my opinion is a much cooler looking snow
effect and a lot more bang for your buck in the effects department... although you may only want to rent a snow machine as you may not have another use for it aside from this one production. One other thing with low lying
fog you want it to leave the machine ass cold as possible if you want it to stay on the
ground the longest... so I suggest dry ice instead of regular ice if it's OK to use dry ice in the machine, the
fog will be colder leaving it and the dry ice lasts longer... there are some units that use liquid C02 but they are not very cost effective (trust me I have used them...)
