I think I remember reading the user manual that you don't want to treat water that has snow or ice in it, because the UV won't completely penetrate into the snow or ice where there could be organisms.
Then when that snow or ice melts, it will release the organisms, which can survive being frozen in water.

Absolutely!
A girl on my staff went to Bali with her husband and friends. They all got the usual tummy (and bowel) troubles – except for the girl. Why?
Well, they were drinking spirits with ice while sitting around the pool – except for the girl, who was expecting. She only drank Coke straight from a can. The ice – the water came from the kitchen tap. She had the last laugh.
