When I was a boy, we made a game of Throwing Snowballs.
.
We would roll up big snowballs of about two foot diameters and arrange them like the walls of a fort about 25 feet away from each other. Then, we would make snowballs of about three or four inch diameters and pile them up in pyramids behind our wall and the "enemy" would do the same behind their fort. Generally about three or four of us would be on each team and we would pelter each other with snowballs. No one ever got hurt and it was just fun to see who could get the most hits.
.
In those days, a lot fo men wore felt hats. And, they were tempting targets for kids as were cars driving down the main streets.
.
Some rotten kids would pour water on their snowballs to freeze them and turn them into ice balls or put stones in the middle of their snowballs. Someone could get hurt and windows could get broken. These "rotten" kids usually came from another neighborhood. Things have changed drastically since then when we went to the schools in our own neighborhoods. Now, kids are bussed to schools on the other side of town and kids from the other side of town are bussed to the school that is just down the block from your house. Go figure! But, the bus companies sell a lot of buses and the gas stations sell a lot of gas and diesel fuel.

Grown ups are not allowed to throw snowballs at people they don't know..
