My parents grew up in a very small town in northern Michigan during the 1920’s and 30’s. The main road through town was flat in the central half dozen or so blocks, but went sharply up 50 feet or so at each end. Every Thursday in the winter time the fire department would hose down the street from the top of the south hill to the top of the north hill. Every Saturday, the whole town turned out to go sledding on the ice. One person sleds didn’t get very far, but eight person sleighs could go all the way to the top of the north hill.
I’ve never lived where putting water on snow causes anything but (muddy) water. But I’ve heard it can be a lot of fun, given sufficient clothing and equipment.
If there is fresh snow, I’m not sure what Frazz is going to do with the water? I don’t think he could carry enough (especially uphill) to throw on a sledding run to make much difference.

Should be an interesting arc. Might bring in some other characters.

It’s -3f here this morning, so that would freeze quickly.

The sledding scene in Christmas Vacation comes to mind.
