Is it really safe to eat snow as long as it's nice and white?

Answer 1

Only 1/4 cup at a time. Dr Elephant says!! We all must pay him proper respect!!

Answer 2

No, there is lots of pollutants and harmful matter between the clouds and the ground, and when those snow flakes take the trip from the sky, all that stuff gets stuck on them. They could be white as paper and still cause harm.
remember, your city is sharing the same air, factories produce lots of chemicals into the air, and all that dirty river water, it evaporates and becomes snow.
think about that next time your chompin on the snow.

Answer 3

We usually make snow cream at least once during the winter if we have a really good snow. So far the only snow we've had this winter is flurries so we haven't made any yet...

Answer 4

To get your answer, collect a glass full of snow, take it inside, and allow it to melt. Then look at the water and see if it is clean. We did this in science class and decided never to eat snow again.

Answer 5

Eating snow lowers your body heat, so are you in a situation that your body heat is important? If you are in your backyard its fine, but if you are on a winter camping trip or mountain climbing trip and try to use it as a source of water without melting it first, then it may cause hypothermia and you die.

Answer 6

All depends from where is the snow.If you have snow from the street of New York City,the answer is no.However,if you have snow from the Rocky Mountains,the answer is yes.Which one do you have.City or mountain.?
