Funny....I asked this very question when I was in Germany last 
December.  There was a confection called "schneeballen" (snowballs) 
which is popular in Rothenburg and recommended to us by our German tour 
director. I asked about the pronunciation since I too had thought it 
was as Clay indicated, but was told no, it is "schnee" (rhymes with 
"see" in English).  My guess is that it is somewhere "in between"...??? 
 I hate to mispronounce things.... ))-:  Of course, I'm sure there must 
be regional differences in pronunciation in Germany just as there are 
in the US.  (Ask people in various areas of the US to pronounce 
"oil"....you'll get "oyl", "all", "erl".....???)

Vicki in Maryland (who says "oyl"....and still wonders about "schnee")
