If snow is crystallized water can you drown in it?
If snow is crystallized water can you drown in it? I remember one winter my sister and I were lying in the snow, watching it fall around us. Then she curled up and started hacking like a maniac. I started laughing and she's like "Sugar! Stop! I could have died." I said "Greene, stop over reacting what did you do this time?"
"Inhaled a snow flake! I could have drowned!"
[spoiler]i used our screen names because I don't want anyone knowing mine and I know she feels the same way.[/spoiler]
I was laughing so hard I was crying. This story still sticks with me after all those years. It's too funny.
So do you guys think it's actually possible though? Is death by snowflake a legit danger?

Sure if you get it into your lungs and your body temperature transfers its thermal content to the snow causing the snow to gain thermal energy via heat transfer, and then melt into water. But usually you would just get surrounded in it and without oxygen, wind up suffocating to death from hypoxia instead.
