You probably couldn't keep a snowball around that long if you had a frost-free refrigerator | freezer. My advice would be to pack them tight and then wrap them in plastic wrap and foil and then store them in Ziploc freezer bags with as much air removed as possible.
I'm such an idiot ... I didn't even read the entire post and there is Deni's comment about storing snowballs. Just delete me. What a moron
Well, i think Deni mentioned the freezer bag only as a way to prevent the snowball from making a mess if the freezer broke down... which really... if the power went out for a long time, the last thing in my fridge that I'd be worrying about is a snowball that melted.
I'm more concerned about my freezer turning my snowball into an iceball.
Tom, your post was made with the intention of keeping the snowball as a snowball rather than turning into an iceball.
I suppose the theory behind keeping a snowball as a snowball would involve removing all air from the device holding the snowball in the freezer. I'm sure someone has figured this out already.
Tom's comment is very insightful. He is the
food expert after all! I thought his comment about frost-free freezers meant that the freezer would eventually suck all the water out of the snowball leaving nothing behind.
Then there's the old Bill Cosby routine about how he put a snowball in the freezer so that in summer he could pelt his nemesis Junior Barnes. When the fateful summer day arrived, Mom had thrown out of the snowball.
Ah yeah, I seem to remember that bit. It was on The Cosby Show, right? Was it also part of his comedy act when he did standup?
