NW MS 10" chance of wintery mix today. can't make snowballs and I took a lighter to some snow, managed to make tiny snowball and it burned like a marshmellow. 🤔

I'm seeing a lot of these posts saying the snow seems artificial because it doesn't behave the way you expected. I'm wondering how much experience these people have with snow to begin with. There are different types of snow ranging from powdery snow that piles up quickly. (This is not good for snowball, snowman making, but because it's lighter, it's a lot easier to shovel.) Then there's heavier, wet snow that compacts quickly. (This type of snow is the kind that makes great snowballs amd snowmen. But it's a real pain to shovel.) And there are many variations in between.

Are you here in MS. Where ?
