Step
1
Learn the facts.
There is a continuing debate about whether any person should consume any amount of snow. Research "eating snow" and decide if you are going to take the risk of eating snow.
Any snow located on the entire planet Earth contains pollutants. Snow contains pollutants from everything including : smog, factory pollutants and other harmful chemical pollutants. It's best to limit an average person snow intake to one cup of snow every 5 years (or less).
Step
2
Collect fresh falling snow.
Don't start collecting snow until it has been snowing for at least 1 minute.
Place your snow collecting buckets on a flat surface and leave them alone until they have filled up with snow.
All of this snow is safe to eat!
Step
3
Collect fallen snow.
If you come across a big pile of snow and would like to eat some of it, then,
Remove the top layer of snow. Wipe away about an inch or a half of an inch of snow from the top of the pile and collect snow that has been protected by that outer layer of snow that you had wiped away.
Dirt and debris can quickly settle on an outer layer of snow. Simply wipe off the outer layer of snow to reveal the clean snow in the middle of the snow pile.
Step
4

Only eat freshly fallen, clean and bright, white colored snow!
