When I saw this video for the 1st time, I watched another where the guy puts a bowl of snow in his microwave & it starts popping like there's tynfoil in the microwave.

A few days before that, I went to make a snowball. Now there's good snow for snowballs & not so good. The wetter sleet to snow stuff is better than the white fluffy, but still, both pack somewhat into a snowball, which made this strange. The snow wouldn't pack at all!

I was curious after the videos & my snowball attempt, so I went outside & got a bowl of newly fallen, fluffy snow. I put it in my microwave for 1 minute (1200 watt). The snow did NOT melt AT ALL. I mean, not even a little H2O at bottom. I then did the same with an icecube from my freezer. Icecube was 1/2 melted in 1 min. As another comparison on how well my microwave works, in 1 min, a full plate from my fridge comes out steaming. This stuff is NOT snow.
