Correction above.

oh, yes snow CAN be eaten. But it's really cold. And it will melt in your mouth. However, I suggest your son not to eat snow because you never know if they're dirty or not. That will make him ill.

I have questions about the snow.

Corrections below:
My youngest/smallest son would like to know about snow. (not the snow)
Lately he asked me if snow could be eaten.
Since/As I've never seen snow, I don't know the answer.
So, I need to know if snow is edible. (comestible is very rare)
Could you help me?

Soon it'll be December, and I would like to take my son to Toluca state.
Snow falls there at that time of the year.

Snow is formed around a small particle of dust or other pollution in the air. So it's probably not a good idea to eat it, even if it looks clean and white on the outside.

De pequeño comí nieve un par de veces. Al intentar comerla, se derrite, por lo que al final acabas "comiendo" agua muy fría.
Evita la nieve sucia, como dice Jchen.
El niño tiene que probarla (los niños deben probarlo todo) pero luego dile que no es recomendable, porque no sabes la suciedad del sitio.
Es como el agua de los ríos. Se puede beber, pero no sabes lo que tiene
Saludos

He comido nieve en el pasado, pero no pienso que deberías permitir a él comer nieve. La nieve es sucia y la comer es mala por su salud.

But if there's snow falling, you can tell your son to open his mouth and try to catch the snow with his tongue ^_^

Después de una nevisca en las sierras, la nieve es pura y limpia--igual a la lluvia. No hay ningún peligro en comer la nieve cuando está frescamente caída. Si lo come muy rápido, el frio le dará un dolor de cabeza que pasa
en momentos. Como la lluvia, la nieve tiene poco sabor.

Poli, your text is OK. I only give it a "spanish from Spain" touch
Después de una nevada en las montañas/en la sierra, la nieve es pura y limpia, igual que la lluvia. No hay ningún peligro en comer la nieve cuando está recién caída. Si la comes muy rápido, el frío te dará un dolor de cabeza momentáneo. Como la lluvia, la nieve tiene poco sabor.
