Can a player remove snow from their lie/stance area? It fits my idea of a casual obstacle, ie loose. But QA-CAS-2 implies that it isn't.
The bolded sentence is also a bit confusing because it talks about moving the obstacle, whereas the Q&A starts off talking about taking relief from obstacles - not the same thing.
QA-CAS-2: Does the term "body of water" in the casual relief rule include bodies of ice and snow?
No. "Casual water" as listed in the rules is water as it's commonly understood, in its liquid form. The rules do not grant casual relief from snow, ice, or even steam should you encounter it. Note that the Director can announce that ice or snow are casual obstacles, in which case they may be moved if they are on or behind your lie.
