We know about staying away from yellow snow. But...
There is also pink watermelon snow that has a sweet smell and taste. But... The rosy hue is often due to algae, which can make you sick if you ingest it.

Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman who was allowed to study medicine in the United States as early as 1847.
It was not easy for Blackwell to be admitted to the study either. She had applied to 11 different universities, when it turned out that Geneva Medical College in New York was a little less averse to the idea. They chose here to let the 150 male students vote on whether she should be admitted. If just one person voted no, she would be rejected. However, the students thought it was a joke, so they all ended up voting for admission. They were therefore somewhat surprised when Blackwell later arrived, ready to teach. Markus

The three inch diameter holes cut into the upper and lower flaps of the Douglas Scout Dive Bomber (SBD) Dauntless were a required modification to stabilize the dive and prevent such severe buffeting solid flaps caused that many thought could break the tail section off.

The stabler weapon platform that buffets first buffets Best!
/\ Dick Best & Co. didn't think that was such useless information at Midway in 1942! Weird how stabilizing one weapon platform with little holes, an aircraft, radically destabilized 4 launch platforms with severe buffeting ie: 4 Jap carriers: big-holing Akagi, Hiru, Soryu, & Kaga...within minutes of each other to turn the tide of war...
