If you are stranded in a blizzard and are trying to stay warm, you should you melt snow and them drink it instead of just eating snow because if you eat un-melted snow it will lower your body temperature. If your core temperature drops too low, you will die. Melting the snow first helps to minimize the drop in temperature.
