Snow Is Delicious. But Is It Dangerous To Eat?

Many people will see the snow that's currently blanketing much of the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. as a nuisance coating sidewalks and roads. Others are celebrating it as an excuse to spend the day swooshing down a hill.

As for me, I like to think of snow as food.

Growing up in Missouri, I consumed as much snow ice cream as possible from November to March. Each time the winter sky let loose, I caught a bowl of fresh flakes. My grandmother mixed raw eggs, cream and sugar and poured it over top.

I believe that if Russia and America were to start exporting snow from Siberia/Alaska to Africa, we'd be able to solve world hunger. Of course none of them do it because jet fuel can't melt steel.

I have about a 2 feet outside of my house right now.Its still pretty much winter here.

Anyway I've never really tried eating snow apart when it happened by accident.If you're going to eat snow at least watch out for yellow bits.
