You are stuck in a blizzard................?

Question

You are stuck in a blizzard. You need water to drink, and you're trying to stay warm. Should you melt the snow and then drink it or just eat the snow?"

Answer 1

You need to melt the snow. If you eat the snow it will use up the calories your body needs to stay warm.

Secondly, it takes a lot of snow to make a little bit of water. You could not eat enough snow to make up for the moisture your body is losing.

Answer 2

If you're warm and likely to remain warm then it's perfectly safe to eat the snow as it is. If you're cold or are likely to become cold very soon then melt the snow first but not using body heat - e.g. don't hold a cup of snow in your hands until it melts.

Answer 3

If its a blizzard its kinda hard to melt the snow...so just eat the snow

Answer 4

How would you melt the snow if it's below freezing? You know that snow is mostly air though, right? You just eat the snow and keep moving.

Answer 5

You should get water some way. Eat the snow or melt and eat it. But... you can also drink your urine three times before it starts to become toxic.

Answer 6

melt the snow but every few seconds you run around a little to stay warm.

Answer 7

Eat it. You can't wait for it to melt. Anyways, it's too cold to. The snow has H20 in it too!

Answer 8

I would eat the snow.

Answer 9

Answer 10
