The police point out that this wasn't just a few snowballs and that this occurred in the middle of a snow storm! These guys were throwing SHOVEL fulls of snow onto windshields and when the officers attempted to exit their vehicle they received shovel fulls of snow as well!
These weren't 10 year old children but 21 year old college students who ought to have had a little more common sense! I'm not sure a felony charge is warranted unless they're being charged with criminal stupidity but they sure ought to be charged with something. Not the brightest bulbs on the porch....
