doesnt have to be snow per se but smaller the peices the better. The acetone or alcohol serves as the delivery medium for the cold offered by the DICE. The purpose of the Acentone/Alcohol is to maximize surface contact area at the base of the pot. Acetone gets cold, whatever it touches gets cold. So when you have DICE in small pieces or snow, you can get more of it to contact the acetone which results in cooler temps. If some of that snow actually gets down into the holes of the F1, EVEN BETTER!

Stir often to make sure the DICE is gettin to the bottom of the pot.
