Looked outside today and watched the snow fall for a bit when I came up with this.  Anyone care to guess what the TDS of melted snow is?  Well the fresh powder I tested was 4 TDS, which I thought was pretty darn cool.  Now if there was only a way to collect it and melt into some sort of large reservoir. 
Just think you could save yourself a couple bucks on your water bill every winter! 

I'm kind of curious to know if the TDS of the snow fluctuates very much according to air pollution levels and other environmental factors.

hmm that is very interesting since i have a TON of it just....sitting around

Yeah you don't have a 60lb. dog. Too risky, beware the yellow snow. How did you get ammonia in your tank?

Ahahaha, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't do this but in theory, it would be better than tap water.

You know that is a really good thought, same with rain water.

The bad thing is didnt waterloo have an air quality alert last week.

Makes you wonder what that 4 ppm is.
