As someone who loves eating ice (and who loves eating snow even more, I'll leave out a cup while it's snowing and then eat the contents with a spoon), the only thing I could think of while reading this was "I wonder what it would taste like."

Eating ice is a symptom of iron deficiency, it warrants mentioning

  I was skeptical, but it's a thing: https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-pagophagia https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-pagophagia

    In case anyone else was getting nervous: “If you occasionally enjoy crunching on leftover ice cubes, such as when you finish a fountain drink, that isn’t pagophagia. Chewing on ice only becomes pagophagia when the drive to chew ice is intense and persistent.”

Snow is really high in aluminum content. I'd do what you describe maybe back in our childhood days but perhaps not anymore. https://youtu.be/-KJqf8MU-2U?t=22 https://youtu.be/-KJqf8MU-2U?t=22

  what do they mean "when the planes spray"? Why would planes spray aluminum? cloud seeding would have been my first guess but that uses silver or potassium, or electricity. nanoparticulates of aluminum near shasta are coming from where? i scrubbed through the video, but the only thing mentioned was "planes", once directly as what i thought to be a joke, and then again at the end showing a plane flying. If the planes' engines are what is dispersing aluminum i wouldn't expect their lifetimes to be that long. is there aluminum in the fuel? I'll capture some rainwater here in the gulf coast and send it to a lab to look for aluminum. We have lots of military and civilian planes overhead, so if it is related to planes, there should be plenty of contamination here, too.

    Epistemic hygiene: if you see a youtube video making unusual claims, check out the other videos on the channel. Title of one of Dane Wigington top videos "New: CIA Agent Whistleblower Risks All To Expose The Shadow Government". It's a chemtrails channel.

      If you are so sincere about your epistemic hygiene, at least call it an "atmospheric aerosol injection" channel. Then we can all realize that it is tacitly already being done while doing lip service to "should we maybe do it now guys". That channel has pretty undeniable visuals pointing to something being sprayed, on and off. Meetings of hundreds of people at townhalls, lab results, interviews with relevant officials. But it is a "chemtrail" channel, those heathens. I bet they added aluminum into the samples they collected and sent it to the lab. All for the sweet sweet clicks. Stay hygienic, avoid unapproved information.

        Okay then. Do you think there is a shadow government, as the title of that video alleges? Title of another video from that channel: "Geoengineering: Waging Weather Warfare On World Populations" (312K views) Do you think the shadow government is waging weather warfare? "Hurricane Irma Manipulation: Objectives And Agendas" (196K views) Do you think the shadow government is controlling the paths of hurricanes? "Engineered Drought Catastrophe, Target California" (190K views) Do you think the shadow government has created an artificial drought in California? "Drilling Under Lake Mead To Drain The Last Drop" (145K views) "CONTROLLING HURRICANE IAN?" (118K views) "High Bypass Turbofan Jet Engines, Geoengineering, And The Contrail Lie" (114K views) "Wildfires As A Weapon, US Military Exposed" (76K views) "Geoengineering Is Fueling Firestorm Catastrophes" (47K views) "Blatant And Inarguable Geoengineering Jet Spraying Captured On Film" (43K views) Keeping an open mind here, do you think any of these videos accurately describe true events? If you don't think they're true, then why link to them?

Given that "The water ice was first chilled in liquid nitrogen to minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit" (77K), I think it would taste like frostbite. The paper mentions that the new phase of ice reverts to something less interesting at 140K (-207F). Out of range for terrestrial experiences, which is why the article discusses finding it in space or on other planets.
