Frozen flakes

There's no ice cream like snow ice cream.

Contrary to suburban myth, the white precipitation that comes down in wet and powdery forms can be eaten. So long as it's free of contamination, be it animal - yellow or brown snow - or chemical - gray or black snow - snow is not hazardous to your health. After all, it's just grains of ice crystals.

Research by Brigham Young University recently found that recently fallen, fresh snow is nutritionally safe. There's no need to caution children not to eat it.
