If snow is crystallized water can you drown in it? I remember one winter my sister and I were lying in the snow, watching it fall around us. Then she curled up and started hacking like a maniac. I started laughing and she's like "Sugar! Stop! I could have died." I said "Greene, stop over reacting what did you do this time?"
"Inhaled a snow flake! I could have drowned!"
[spoiler]i used our screen names because I don't want anyone knowing mine and I know she feels the same way.[/spoiler]
I was laughing so hard I was crying. This story still sticks with me after all those years. It's too funny.
So do you guys think it's actually possible though? Is death by snowflake a legit danger?

Here's a question. Do people buried under tons of snow in an avalanche die from water in their lungs?
