Heat flows from a hotter object to the cooler object. A snowflake would be at 0 degrees Celsius but a healthy tongue would be 37 degrees Celsius, so heat would always flow from the tongue (by conduction and radiation) to the snowflake.
I DON'T recommend it. Though it may be fun, and exciting, It is a little dangerous. For example, bacteria may be present on the snowflake, Or viruses, parasites, and many other hazardous things can get on it. Also, snowflakes are made out of the water from precipitation. We don't know which water it came from. Did it come from polluted water? We won't know until we eat the snowflake, But at that rate, it is already too late if it lands on your tongue.

To save a snowflake from melting, it needs to be kept in a cold environment below freezing temperatures. This can be achieved by placing the snowflake in a freezer or a container with ice. Additionally, minimizing its exposure to heat and sunlight can help prevent it from melting.
As a snowflake falls, it converts its potential energy (due to gravity pulling it downward) into kinetic energy (motion energy). When the snowflake lands, some of this kinetic energy may be converted into sound and heat upon impact.
They are looking for heat signatures from a animal. The tongue tells them what is around them.
On my 1999 M-2205 travel trailer, the VIN is etched into the tongue. Look on the tongue. It should be etched in.
When glucose is placed on the tongue, it lowers the temperature by absorbing heat from the tongue. This heat absorption gives the sensation of coldness. Additionally, the process of dissolving the glucose in the saliva can also contribute to the cooling sensation on the tongue.
A snowflake is made up of frozen water and lacks flavor, so it essentially tastes like water. When a snowflake melts in your mouth, you may taste a slight cold sensation or refreshing feeling. Just be sure to catch a snowflake on your tongue before it melts!

The tongue and the pads of the feet are where heat is cooled on a dog.
