Snow ...

[Robin Hewitt]

I've been packing snow in to plastic tanks and stacking them in the garage.

One kilo of snow today will become one litre of distilled water by next week.

It's very useful stuff to have around.

Robin,
only if it thaws out.
My windscreen wahser bottle has been frozen solid from last Saturday so I have been carrying a Skooshy bottle of windscreen wash/de-icer mixture around in the car with me. Its now sitting on my desk trying to thaw out. Minus 11 at the house this morning at 04-45 and dipped to minus 12.5 on the way to Glasgow. Bottle of stuff frozen solid.
Zafira also took a few extra turns to fire up this morning.
The thermal overalls have come out of hibernation as well.

Regards

Ian

Wow excellent idea, I wonder if it's pure enough for anodising...?

It is pure as the driven snow

It is actually purer than rain water because when it freezes any dissolved gas has to come out of solution.

That's why Coke cans explode if you leave them in the ice box :naughty:
