Wet snow thread

[BlasterBates]

Its not really possible for snow to be wet. Snow is quite dry.
You are getting confused because some of it has melted giving the illusion of wetness, but its just a mixture of dry snow and wet water.

You obviously come from a country that rarely experiences snow.

...ah then when your umbrella is "wet" it isn't really, its dry, mixed in with wet water.

Snow outside of my house is very wet - please post here only to comment on how wet your snow is.

Its wet here, just found out I need new contracting shoes.

Can an umbrella be wet then?

Or for that matter, can washed plates and glasses be wet?

No. Unless they hold water, esp if they are porous, but its just another illusion.
F@nnies can be wet , but its so long since I saw one that I might be wrong.
