Is Cooling Down A Hot Drink With Outside Snow Dangerous?
We have someone who just tried to cool down a hot drink with snow from outside-- not realizing that it might have had a little driveway salt in it... How dangerous could that be and should we be worried? (it was about as much snow as your average snowball, and wasn't noticably discolored).

welcome to hcm,
nothing to worry and it is not dangerous. snow as by itself if ingested will not harm you so cooling of a hot drink with the snow will also not harm you.
so dont worry
hope this finds useful
