Hello,
If I packed a snowball in a container with dry ice (which has a temp of 109 below, I think) would it change into ice or would it remain as snow, due to the increased colder temperature?
AFAIK, snow is ice. Not densely packed ice, but still ice.
thanks for the reply. I guess I should have been more specific in my question. I’d like to mail a snowball to a friend who lives in California. Was wondering if I shipped in a container packed with dry ice overnight, whether it would still remain in the same physical condition or if it would just be a block of ice when it gets to my friend.
Again, many thanks for your help!
Over a period of weeks to months, snow crystals may meld and transform into an icy mass. However, dry ice should keep your snowball intact and fluffy for a merely overnight trip to CA.
The Postal service is picky about handling dry ice shipments, as are other carriers, so you’ll want to check with them before mailing.
Alright! Glad to hear that everything will be okay. Thanks so much
