Snow is essentially a powder form of ice. Snow melts into its ctype element (usually the type of water) at 0°C, except saltwater snow, which melts at -21.1°C. This property of snow can be used to store destructive elements like singularity.

Snow also slows down neutrons, a thick layer of snow may stop neutron movement almost completely.

Creation

Snow can be obtained by applying pressure above 0.8 to ice, or pressure above 1.8 to freeze powder.

Reactions

Salt and saltwater will turn snow into saltwater:
