When not to eat snow or homemade snow cones

Here’s a surefire way to know when you shouldn’t be grabbing a nice chunk of snow to chew on – when that very snow falls from the sky with an orange or yellow hue.

Russia’s emergency situations ministry said today it was dispatching experts to a Siberian province to find out why yellow and orange snow has been falling in several villages, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported.

“A chemical test unit will be sent to Omsk … it’s main task will be to investigate pollution in the region and establish the degree of danger represented by the anomalous snow fall,” the agency quoted an unnamed official from the ministry as saying.

Reminds me an portion of Jackass whereby one of the individuals created a homemade snow cone to consume.
