"Lake snow". The research found clean, check, dry was appropriate for use with lake snow, with a little bit of extra exposure time, as lake snow was a slime that tended to cling more than lake weed. The mucus known as lake snow or lake snot was first discovered in Lake Wanaka in 2004. Dr Schallenberg said he was not surprised Lindavia intermedia (the algae responsible for creating lake snow) came from overseas. He said this summer the ORC freshwater biosecurity advocates stationed on key boat ramps would "add lake snow to their dialogue with boaties".
