*Moving them immediately to saddlebags or a cart will greatly delay their decay.

==Gathering==
Snowballs can be found in [[Winter]] by right-clicking a ground tile and clicking '''Collect snow'''. Snow starts becoming available on tiles approximately 21 hours after the beginning of Winter. After snowballs are collected from a tile, they will be replenished periodically throughout Winter. The number of snowballs you can gather from a tile depends on the type of tile:* '''1''': [[Stone slabs]], [[Slate slabs]], [[Sandstone slabs]], [[Marble slabs]], [[Lawn]], [[Steppe tile|Steppe]], [[Tundra]], [[grass|Short grass]] and [[tree|trees/bushes]] with short grass.* '''2''': [[grass|Medium grass]], [[tree|trees/bushes]] with medium grass.* '''3''': [[grass|Tall grass]], [[tree|trees/bushes]] with tall grass.* '''4''': [[grass|Wild grass]].The tiles must not be within a building. Snowballs can also be found year-round by collecting from [[Snow pile]] [[Resource nodes]]. Snowball item count from snow pile nodes is significantly increased in winter, however. For instance, [[Snow pile]]s below the snow line will yield 8 snowballs instead of 4. The resource node is also much more often encountered in Winter.
The [[quality]] of a snowball is random, with a maximum of 99.00. Average quality is determined by how many snowballs can be collected on the tile, and how many have already been collected in that action. When gathering multiple snowballs from the same tile or [[Snow pile]], they will decrease slightly in quality with each successive snowball you gather. Tiles producing only 1 snowball are likely to produce one at maximum quality.
==Notes==
* You will find more [[Snow pile]]s at higher altitudes.
*Snow will become more abundant over time as winter sets in, and will be much easier to collect.
*Snowballs have a 12-hour (real life hours) decay 'grace period', during which they will not start decaying in your inventory.
*A snowball can be thrown at various targets by activating the snowball and then right-clicking the target and selecting "Throw Snowball". No damage or hostility is invoked here.
*Snowballs cannot be stored in bulk storage containers such as food storage bins or crates.
*The [[snowman statue]] is the only known an additional way with which to generate snowballs outside of normal ground-harvest methods utilized in the snowy months in Wurm.
