Catching Snowflakes With Your Tongue

"Winter is the king of showmen

Turning tree stumps into snow men

And houses into birthday cakes

And spreading sugar over lakes

Smooth and clean and frosty white

The world looks good enough to bite

That’s the season to be young

Catching snowflakes on your tongue

Snow is snowy when it’s snowing

I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going"

-Ogden Nash, Winter Morning Poem

Have you done this before? Catching snowflakes with your tongue?

From Wikihow.com: How to catch a snowflake in your mouth:-

1) Spot a nice sized snowflake and focus on it. Stay focused on one until it's in your mouth and you can go after another.

2) Open your mouth as wide as it can go, without dislocating your jaw.
3) Don't close your mouth. If you do you will probably end up losing your train of thought and besides, you know what's going to happen, the snowflake is going to melt in your mouth.
4) Then keep your tongue out and watch it melt!
