Yeah but there's little or no "it's chemtrails, the sky is falling, they're out to kill us" over-reaction on that thread (which I hadn't actually seen tbh)
Gray or black snow can result from precipitation through soot or petroleum-based contaminants. The snow may be oily and smelly. This type of snow tends to be seen early in the snowfall of a heavily polluted area or one which has experienced a recent spill or accident. Any chemical in the air may become incorporated into snow, causing it to become colored.
(If something is smelling like plastic while turning black, what is it? Snow? I'm thinking no...I'm thinking pollution.)

Like I said (tried to say): your explanation is endearing, if naive.
Where is the pristine snow? Not in our world. Not anymore.
Therefore, we need to consider more variables. Hardly off-topic. Snow polluted by petroleum is not going to burn or melt in the same way as snowy white snow? Is it?

people in Georgia don't see that much snow, and really just don't know how it actually behaves - this is a great opportunity to deny ignorance
