2/3 of my dogs love to do this. They run outside and stick their noses in the snow then bring them back up and start licking the snow and sometimes will take bites out of it. If they like to catch tennis balls try making a snowball and tossing it to them, mine loves this, and if they don't catch it don't worry it's only snow it won't hurt them. I used to have a shepherd that would actually try to catch the snow when my dad was shoveling the driveway. We no longer have her but she always ate snow too. She would go out back eat snow, roll around in it, and then lay in it, she would have laid outback for hours had we let her. For us it is normal for the dogs to eat the snow, just make sure there is nothing dangerous in it.

Oh yes! My Australian Cattle Dog eats snow, and the Catahoula I used to have would eat snow, but the houla I have now doesn't seem to want to. I used to own a Collie (many years ago) that LOVED the snow. She would roll and burrow down in it. And of course she ate it . :) Aren't dogs great?

We don't get snow where I'm from, but it sounds like one of the many cute things dogs do.

Our Saint Bernard/Collie mix loves to bite at the snowflakes as they are falling. My pomeranians however are afraid of the snow.....

Yeah, they love it. It seems to be something that more active dogs like to do. It's an easy way to cool them selves down, and also have a bit of a drink.
