I'm still skeptical. . . when it comes to my plants i dont know if i am going to trust something from the San Jose Mercury News.

I think, though, that even if nitrogen is "trapped" in snow as they say, when the snow melts it most likely evaporates and is released as a gas which doesnt help your plants. The only way for the nitrogen to have the same effect as fertilizer would be if it was somehow chemically bound with something in the snow... and if that were the case snow would be more than just frozen H2O (something like NH2O, and it certainly isnt).

So while its a possibility that there MAY be trace amounts of nitrogen "trapped" in snow, it probably is simply released when the snow melt and serves no benefit to the plant at all. But hey if you wanna risk your plants health by experimenting, go ahead.
