spud Posted yesterday at 06:48 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:48 PM Hi! Long time lurker here. I have a snowball that has been in my freezer since 12/25/2002. My daughter made it and it seemed like a great thing to save at the time. She is all grown up with her own kids and surprisingly doesn’t want it, lol. Sooo, is there any science or other reason to save this? It was a great looking snowball one time. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the science perspective, that likely contains very high NOx and SO2 particulates compared to current levels. Peak poor air quality (from those two offenders) was around 97/98. NOx dropped off quickly after 2000 and SO2 was only a few years behind. We're down about 90% on those emissions since 1995. Some environmental researcher may be mildly interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Wow I saved some of the huge hailstones from those intense storms in SoMD a couple summers back the same way you did - in a ziplock bag in my freezer. You've inspired me to keep them as long as I can, maybe 30yrs from now I'll be able to pull them out as a party trick. I think the most impressive thing from your post is that you've actually gone that long without a fridge/freezer equipment failure causing it to melt!

spud Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago Thanks Gang! I will just keep it there! I like the idea of leaving it to my heirs! Or maybe when my Grandsons grow up they can do a science experiment with it. I think I have some frozen Brood X cicadas too from 2004 and 2021!! And, this is not my main freezer ( mostly lots of ice packs which is why I guess it is still there). Back to weather and politics! I will lurk.
