In Wisconsin, we did exactly what he did an the snow did not melt but, it burned an smelt like a chemical.

Not fake I did it with my flame thrower and it did the same thing... but is this normal?

Thats styrofoam - now go outside in the snow with a lighter - we want to see you actually do it to whats on he ground - not something you bought at hobby lobby

WTF! anyone know where this "snow" was collected from?

it makes sense. i felt like something was up with it because when i was shoveling it was in huge pieces. same with the snow on my car, it broke into huge boulders and then just kind of slid off. even after it slid off my car onto the driveway, it stayed in the "boulder form" and my husband had to pick it up with his hands to move it. ive lived in the NE long enough to know what snow is

Snows insulates pretty well. And that black stuff is the soot from the zippo.

yeah but it should melt, not burn. if you hold real snow in your hand long enough it will melt. fire should instantly melt it
