A Pail of So-Called Snow
It's noticeably different from most of the 'snow' in the streets. It has an oilier lustre, and the smell is not quite the same [...] no indication at all that the stuff is safe. The wisest thing to do would be to dispose of it.
So what will you do?
Game Instructions: This will melt when winter passes! Use it by mid-January.
