Additional Information:
J (3Y9M4D) tried this today. It is snowing in Denmark. We had a layer of snow on the cover of our pot lid that stood outside our "outdoor" fridge. We took it in. Joshua wanted to see how we melt away the snow. Daddy thought of the idea of using the air-dryer. We have also shown Joshua how the snow melts away when running warm water on them.
