===Muktzeh===
# Snow isn’t [[Muktzeh]], but it’s forbidden to make snowballs or a snowman. <Ref> Children in Halacha (Rabbi Simcha Bunim, pg 138). Beer Moshe 1:20, Shemirat [[Shabbat]] Khilchita 16:note 110 rule that snow isn't [[muktzeh]] based on the Gemara Eruvin 46a and Tosfot Beitza 2a “ka” which says that rain is not [[muktzeh]] as nolad because the moisture was in the clouds before the rain fell.
<br /> However, Rav Moshe Feinstein (quoted in The Halachos of Muktza, pg. 165 note 10) stated that snow is [[muktzeh]] because it isn’t normally used and therefore would be like sticks or stones, even if it fell before [[Shabbat]]. In Iggerot Moshe OC 5:22 he was asked if you can move snow, based on his earlier psak that its [[muktzeh]], and says that its asur because of nolad and explains what makes it different from rain. </ref>
===Shoveling===
# There is a discussion amongst the poskim if one is allowed to shovel snow on [[Shabbat]]. <ref> Mishneh Halachot 5:4 says that in a place without an eruv, one can ask a non-Jew to shovel snow because of the danger. </ref>
