What to know about eating snow after massive winter storm

Getting outdoors to enjoy simple pleasures is unlikely to be front of mind for people in a 1,300-mile stretch of the United States where a massive weekend storm brought deep snow and bitter cold. But as communities recover, some residents of lesser-affected areas might be tempted to make snow cones, whip up bowls of “snow cream” or to try “sugar on snow.” But how safe is it to turn snow into a treat? Experts say eating a bit of snow is probably fine if you live someplace with generally clean air, but staying away from plowed snow is a sensible precaution. It might contain deicing chemicals, debris and other contaminants.

The first frost, of the season, will roll over, in over the mountains tonight. I am so excited for my first Fall and Winter as a homeowner in Southern #Appalachia. The dew on the grass turns shades of silver. The crisp cool air that has me reaching for my handmade crochet shawl. And, that unmistakable hush, just before holiday shopping mania, that means winter’s just around the corner. ❄️✨

Seems only right to toast the season with a little Georgia Bourbon Snow Cream from Moonrise Distillery. Reminds me of a big silver bowl of snow with vanilla and cream all stirred together. Creamy, cozy, and made right here in Rabun County, #Georgia. It tastes like a Southern snow day in a glass. 🥃🤍
