I am not sure how to upload the video.... HOWEVER, some lady in Vermont (not near any commercial / industrial buildings) had her snow tested because her dogs were having trouble walking in the snow after awhile. The snow fell into her bowl and she sent the water to the lab for testing a few weeks ago and just got the results. The results came back: While there was also some sulfur detected the most eye opening result was the level of aluminum which was listed as 5x the “average reporting level”. This is a big deal for a few reasons:
- How is aluminum this small?
- Aluminum does a great job of cooling down. Could this have to do with temperature changes in Texas?
- I’m no water expert but I don’t think this matches the periodic table. H2O!
Note: there is a detection level and reporting level. Once the level hits reporting it is worth noticing in the results. So 5x reporting is really high...
I could see the DS wanting to manipulate weather to lessen the chances of states like TX from succeeding .
I encourage other Patriots to get their snow tested to confirm this. Let’s prove not everything is as it seems
I would need to see the entire analysis report. There are many sources of aluminum in the environment. It is a lot more common then most people realize. Btw, I am very familiar with water testing and treatment. For one, I'm a former aquarium professional at the high end, second I'm a test and measurement professional, and third my step dad is a water quality specialist who has trained me. One year he gave me a very expensive Hatch test kit for Christmas!
The report is shown in the video. If you are on Telegram I will send it to you for your review.
The lady doesn’t seem very tech savvy at all but does attempt to show the report. She focuses more on reading it.
My handle is @wisp17 if you wanna see it.
Thanks for the info. I'm at work right now and don't have time to investigate. I'll look into this tonight.
Based on your expertise, curious how you'd rationalize a metal like aluminum atop a depth of snow. Say, for example, snow is 12" deep on the ground and a person scoops the top 4 inches into a bowl for analysis. Where could such a high level of aluminum come from if we assume nothing thrown on the snow and it's "virgin" snow, meaning not plowed or shoveled yet?
I don't have the experience in the field to suggest I know the answer. I believe metallic particulates are sprayed often into the atmosphere and accumulate on the surface of the earth over time. However, in a snow I'm curious how to estimate an amount of metals that "should" be there versus the amount that should not.
I'll try to design and write up a testing methodology later tonight. I have actually been planning on doing this for awhile, though I was thinking more about testing rain and surface water. This would be the best way to determine what is being introduced into the atmosphere. As for aluminum, it is very common in the environment. For example it is one of the main elements found in clay and dust.

How can we test the water ourselves?
Good test kits like from Hatch, are very expensive. They are also limited. In a home laboratory, a lot of things can be tested for, but not everything. For some things, samples need to be sent to a laboratory specializing in testing water.
There are some basic rules that need to be followed for collecting valid samples. The collection containers should by Pyrex. They need to be rinsed three times in water from the same source as the water being sampled. The sample should not be agitated and preferably the sample should completely fill the collection container. The volume of the sample should be 10 times the volume needed for all of the tests. The temperature of the source should also be recorded along with the date, time, and location. If testing water from a stream, the location needs to be fairly accurate.
Btw, when I was testing wild water, I would perform all tests that I could in the field. Don't dump the water used in testing back into the wild! Put it in a waste container for proper disposal. Many of the chemicals used are toxic.
