You can’t throw a snowball at a person as kids often do. You can’t throw it in a park, at a building, anywhere. Comments please.

$is not Wausau connected to a prominent insurance company? A little game by little ones can snowball into a million & suit.
The Irish never learned to spell Warsaw. If ever a city saw war, Warsaw is it, not like warwick, wickwar.

Getting beaned in the head by a rock inside a snowball is not fun. A few years back my hubby thew a snowball at me, didn't know there was a rock in it. Let's just say I landed on my back and I was seeing stars for a while.

Putting a rock in a snowball is not the same as throwing a snowball.

m: having a heavier snowball improves the ballistics. having an ice core helps too. trouble is, hitting a head can be a live changing event, like if you hit a a snow mobiler.Snow ball battles were mini wars, with forts built, lobbing the make belief pine apple grenades.

Snowballs can be heavier than softballs or baseballs. We generally don't let people throw those at others to hit them intentionally. In fact, MLB players wear protective helmets just in case of such an incident.
Especially when melting is happening, those wet snowballs can clump together well. But also become very heavy.
Often when the snow is fresh and flaky, it won't even form into a snowball. It turns to powder in your hands.
But who's to say, this snowball is dangerous because it's this weight or that one's OK, because of it's weight? Or that one's too wet or mostly ice.I'd say if it's not aimed at a person or property, allow it. Ie at a tree in the park. At the ground. At one of the empty playground items. Brick walls. But cars, no. People, no. Normal siding, no. Windows, no.
Like any other rule. Smoking at a gas station is probably OK if you're in the right circumstance. Far enough away from fumes or gas, wind blowing the other way, etc. But are we going to ask people to get all scientific about it or just tell them no smoking near the pumps?
