What do you guys think of drinking rain water?
Some scientists talk about it here:

One says...
"If you live in a really polluted city, it might be a good idea not to drink
rain when it just starts, as it's washing out all the particulate material
in the air (car exhaust, diesel fumes, dust, etc). Other than that, I
can't think of why you shouldn't be drinking it."
Interesting.
Last winter I collected fresh snow in a pail, but when it melted there was black spects from tree material and whatnot. I might try it again, running it through a simple filter this time.
